A recording consent disclaimer is a clause in the disclaimer that asks participants in a meeting or webinar to consent to their participation being recorded. Whenever a recording is started or when a recording has already begun, the participants receive a notification that the recording is about to begin. The participant has the option of staying in the session or leaving if they do not wish to remain in it. An attendance list can be generated by the host at the end of the session that includes the attendees who have given their consent.

Depending on the account type, some settings relating to recording notification can be changed. Find out how you can modify the recording notifications settings by visiting the following link.
