Instructions

Step 1: Pre-Migration Assessment

// Inventory your current meeting data
interface MigrationInventory {
  totalRecordings: number;
  totalHours: number;
  formats: string[];        // mp3, mp4, wav, m4a, ogg
  averageDuration: number;  // minutes
  dateRange: { oldest: string; newest: string };
  platforms: string[];      // Zoom, Teams, etc.
}

// Fireflies supports: mp3, mp4, wav, m4a, ogg
// Size limits: 200MB audio, 100MB video (free), 1.5GB video (paid)
// Minimum: 50KB (can bypass with bypass_size_check: true)
