You will obtain all required consents before recording any audio, including system audio from calls, meetings, or conversations.
You will not use audio recording or screen capture features to record individuals without their knowledge or consent where such recording is prohibited by law.
You understand that recording video or voice calls may require the consent of all participants depending on applicable law.
