How Consent Collection works
When Consent Collection is enabled, tl;dv replaces the original meeting link in your calendar with a consent link.
When participants open the meeting, they are first taken to a consent page where they can choose whether to allow recording.
If they accept, they are redirected into the meeting and tl;dv can record
If they decline, tl;dv will not record the meeting
If a participant declines, recording is permanently disabled for that meeting (even if they change their mind later).
Before you start
To ensure Consent Collection works correctly:
Enable Consent Collection in your settings
Grant tl;dv calendar write permissions when prompted
Enable automatic recording for your calendar meetings
Schedule your meeting on your calendar
Consent Collection only applies to meetings that are automatically recorded. Meetings that are not scheduled on a calendar (for example, instant or ad-hoc meetings) will not trigger the consent flow.
Consent Collection only applies to meetings created after setup is complete. Meetings created before setup will not be updated retroactively.
What participants will see
When a participant clicks the meeting link, they’ll see a consent page before entering the meeting.
If consent is given
The participant joins the meeting normally
tl;dv joins and records the meeting
If consent is declined
The participant can still join the meeting
tl;dv will not join or record
If the bot has already joined when consent is declined, it will leave the meeting within a few seconds.
The tl;dv chrome extension or desktop app will show a message indicating that recording is disabled because consent was not granted.
If consent is declined by mistake, recording cannot be restarted for that meeting. To record, you’ll need to create a new meeting.
Who is asked for consent
The meeting organizer is not asked for consent
Other participants may be asked to give consent depending on your settings
You can choose to collect consent for:
Internal meetings
External meetings
All meetings
⚠️ Fallback behavior (email consent)
If tl;dv does not have permission to edit your calendar, it may fall back to an email-based consent request. In this case, participants may receive an email asking for consent instead of seeing the consent page before joining.
To ensure the expected experience, make sure calendar write permissions are granted.
Additional notes
Consent Collection works best when meetings are newly created after setup and managed directly through your connected calendar.
In some cases:
Recurring meetings may not behave consistently
Changes made by other calendar tools or integrations may affect the meeting setup
