How to provide consent to be recorded in Zoom

Providing consent to be recorded
A participant is asked to consent to being recorded when joining a meeting whose recording is already in progress, or when the host begins recording. It is up to the account administrator to adjust the consent notification so that it applies only to external participants or all participants in the meeting, regardless of whether they are internal or external participants. You may customize this notification by including additional information and a link to the privacy policy of a company, for instance.
In the event that Zoom and the account administrator have enabled it, your microphone will be muted and your video will be turned off if you join a meeting that is already in progress of being recorded or live streamed. Upon consenting, the microphone and video settings will revert to their default settings for that meeting, which is chosen by the meeting host.

Zoom Rooms for Touch
If you are a participant in a meeting that is being recorded, a message may appear that says: “This meeting is being recorded. By continuing in the meeting, you and all other participants in the meeting are consenting to being recorded.”. Do you want to continue?
In the event that a recording is initiated after you’ve entered the meeting, a message will appear: “By participating in the meeting, you consent to being recorded. Do you wish to continue?”
Depending on which scenario you are in, you can choose to either do the following:
