Nice to know about Recall!

Right now we handle all of our recordings internally, since having a bot join our calls is a dealbreaker, but it is something that i'm going to take a closer look at. Your product is very interesting for our problem domain, but having a bot join our calls is a big no.

About the compliance recording:

Microsoft teams allows for two modes of call recording (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-recor...):

- Convenience recording- an ad-hoc recording of a call or meeting that a user starts and manages. For an overview of convenience recording, see Overview- Recording and transcription for Teams meetings and calls. -> This requires a bot to join the call

- Compliance recording-calls and meetings that are automatically recorded without user intervention and owned by the company, using a third-party solution. -> This does not require a bot to join the call. The audio is streamed directly to the server, no bot required.

It is somewhat painful to roll your own compliance recording bot without a third-party, but it is possible (even if badly documented).




How does that work in two party consent jurisdictions?


It is possible to prompt the user for consent right as they join the meeting, up to the implementation.
