How do I obtain attendee's consent to record a meeting? If they refuse, can they attend, mic and camera off?

hi @JeffreyZoom ,

When you start a recording, the user should see a message to say it is being recorded and click ok.
all the best

This is for a class and if I have a student that does not want to participate in the recording can they still be in the meeting with mic off and camera off?

hi @JeffreyZoom 

Yes, they can have the camera off, but they need to accept it is recorded. I know this does not work for all situations, but there is no catch-all answer for all instances.
