Import recordings

Import recordings into your meeting workspace

Upload an existing audio or video recording to Meetlens, choose its title and AI report format, then review the processed meeting in one workspace. You can also import a prepared TXT transcript without uploading media.

Start with media or an existing transcript

The selected file determines what Meetlens needs to do next. Check recording and processing limits before uploading. For an upcoming browser call, use the meeting recorder instead.

01 / AUDIO OR VIDEO

Process a recording

Upload a supported media file. Meetlens checks the recording against your plan, transcribes its speech, and creates the selected AI report.

MEDIA→TRANSCRIPT→AI REPORT
02 / TXT TRANSCRIPT

Use text you already have

Import a plain-text transcript when the recording has already been transcribed. Meetlens creates the meeting record without processing an audio track.

TXT→MEETING→AI REPORT

A TXT file is a separate transcript-import path. It is not treated as an audio or video recording.

How it works

From local file to a reviewable meeting

The current Meetlens import form asks only for the inputs needed to begin processing.

1
SELECT

Choose one supported file

Select an MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, WebM, MP4, or TXT file from your device.

2
CONFIGURE

Name the meeting and choose a report

The meeting title defaults to the filename if left blank. Choose the report format that matches the conversation.

3
PROCESS

Upload and let processing begin

Media upload and processing time depend on file size, recording length, connection speed, and service load. TXT imports follow their own text-only path.

4
REVIEW

Open the resulting workspace

Review the meeting transcript, check speaker labels, and verify the generated AI report against the source.

FAQ

Recording import questions

Formats, limits, processing, transcripts, and access.

What file formats are supported?
Meetlens currently accepts MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, WebM, and MP4 media files. It also accepts a plain TXT file through a separate transcript-import path.
What is the difference between importing media and a TXT transcript?
Audio and video files go through the recording-processing flow so Meetlens can create a transcript and the selected AI report. A TXT file is treated as text you have already transcribed; it does not contain an audio track for Meetlens to process.
Is there a file-size or recording-length limit?
Yes. Free supports recordings up to 60 minutes and 1 GB per file; Pro supports up to 90 minutes and 1 GB; Business supports up to 120 minutes and 3 GB. Imported media also uses the monthly processing-minute allowance for the plan.
Can I choose the meeting name and AI report format?
Yes. The current import dialog includes a meeting-title field and a report-format selector. If the title is left blank, Meetlens uses the filename as the starting title.
How long does processing take?
There is no fixed processing-time promise. Upload and processing time vary with file size, recording length, internet upload speed, and service load. The meeting opens for processing after the upload starts successfully.
What should I do if my file format is not supported?
Convert or export the recording to one of the accepted formats before uploading it. For a video container that Meetlens does not accept, an audio-only MP3, WAV, or M4A copy is often smaller and easier to upload.
Do I need permission to upload a recording?
You should only upload recordings you are entitled to process. Recording, consent, and retention rules depend on your location and context, so inform participants and obtain consent when required before uploading or sharing the result.
