Yes, it is essential to inform participants when you are recording a meeting. Here’s why:
1. Legal compliance
In many jurisdictions, it is mandatory to notify and obtain consent from participants before recording a meeting. Recording without consent can result in legal penalties and reputational risks. Laws in some areas require all parties to be aware and agree to the recording. Non-compliance may lead to severe consequences, including fines or lawsuits.
2. Building trust
Being upfront about recording promotes openness and fosters trust among participants. It ensures all attendees are aware that their input will be documented and encourages a collaborative and respectful environment.
How Lampi AI supports compliance and transparency
Lampi AI ensures compliance by sending an email notification to all participants before the meeting begins. This notification informs them that the meeting will be recorded.
Note: An option to decline participation if participants do not wish to be recorded will be implemented in the coming updates.
If a participant objects to Lampi AI’s presence during the meeting, you can remove it easily as you would remove any other participant during the meeting.
