There are many ways to obtain recording consent using the bots, but these are a few approaches we've seen be successful in the past. If you want to see real-world examples of each of these approaches, you can refer to this article.

1. Audio Announcements

The bot can play an audio message when joining a meeting to inform participants that the meeting is being recorded. You can implement this by setting the automatic_audio_output parameter when creating your bot. Check out our quickstart guide for audio output to learn more.

2. Displaying an Image

You can configure the bot to display an image indicating to the meeting participants that they're being recorded. You can customize this image to fit your company's own branding and message. You can implement this by setting the automatic_video_output parameter when creating your bot. Check out our quickstart guide for video output to learn more.

3. Sending a Message in Chat

You can configure your bot to automatically send messages in the meeting chat notifying participants that the meeting is being recorded. Check out our quickstart guide on how to send and receive chat messages with the bot to learn more.

You can also configure your bot to only start recording upon receiving explicit opt-in consent from all meeting participants. You can implement this by setting the recording_mode_options.start_recording_on parameter to manual when creating a bot. Then you can trigger an API call to for the bot to begin recording only when all participants have opted in. Check out our quickstart guide on how to start and stop recording with the bot.
