There are plenty of apps available to help you record online meetings. In this article, we’ll go into the details of the legality of recording meetings and how different states handle it.
Is it legal to record online meetings?
Yes, you can legally record meetings. You might want to record your meetings for multiple reasons: record your scrum meetings and share it with your team, record customer interviews so that you can later analyze them, etc.
It's always best practice to notify the participants of the meeting about your intention and how the recording is going to be used. Getting the consent of the meeting participants before recording will save everyone hassle.
It's also a good idea to check the country-specific laws and regulations. When you do your research, pay attention to your country's consent requirement - i.e., whether one party's consent is sufficient to make recording lawful, or whether you need to get all parties' consent.
The one-party and all-party consent
One-party consent for recording means you can record an online meeting or conversation so long as you are a party to the conversation. If you are not a party to the conversation, you can record a conversation or online meetings only if at least one party consents and has full knowledge that the communication will be recorded.
All-party consent suggests that all parties of the call should consent to be recorded.
How can I get the consent of the call participants?
The best way to document that you have obtained consent is to record the consent along with the call or conversation. As a practical matter, this will require :
- notifying the person you intend to record about your intent to record;
- getting consent off-the-record;
- starting the recording;
- then asking the person to confirm on the record that they consent to the recording.
Keep in mind to ask the call participants who join the call with a delay.
Another way of getting the consent can be notifying the call participants that the call will be recorded in the invitation to the meeting.
In any case, it is always preferable to state what the recording will be used for. That can be note-taking, archiving, training purposes, etc.
Penalty for violating recording laws
A person who violates the law prohibiting the secret recording of conversations will face the penalty prescribed by the country's law. Virtually every US state imposes some criminal penalty for violations of its secret recording law. For example, a person violating California’s law faces a possible misdemeanor conviction, a one-year prison sentence, and a $2,500 fine. (Cal. Penal Code § 631.)
