Meeting recording consent
Meeting recording consent is the agreement participants give to having a call or conversation recorded.
What it means
Recording a conversation without telling the other people in it can break the law, breach a workplace policy, or simply damage trust. Consent is how you avoid that: you let participants know a recording is happening, and you let them object.
The legal rules vary widely by country, and in the United States by state. Some places require everyone to agree, others only one party. This page is not legal advice, so check the rules that apply where you and the other participants are. As a practical baseline, announcing the recording at the start of a call and noting it in the calendar invite is a reasonable habit regardless of jurisdiction.
How this relates to Autorec
Autorec records from your own desktop and never joins the call, so it is up to you to tell participants. Because recordings stay on your disk and are never uploaded, you stay in full control of who can ever see them, which makes honouring a request to delete a recording straightforward.
