Can we solve this by putting a disclaimer in extension home page that it is upto the user to inform all parties and take their consent before recording ? Not really sure how to solve this, would love feedback.

A disclaimer should work just fine as it’s the users responsibility to adhere to terms in their state/country.

Add it to your “terms of use” as well.

If you decide to turn it into a business, be sure to consult with an attorney (ie. 30mins).

You can invent a very elaborate system of pushing a request to the meet chat, having everyone consent to recording, parsing their responses, and offering feedback and help if it doesn't go as expected..

Or you can just put a disclaimer in your extension that some states require two party consent and remind the user to comply with local laws.

Fwiw, I'm on a lot of zoom calls with outside companies that have a "note taker" that is clearly a bot that records video and maybe does transcription. Most of the time it is not mentioned.

Why would you need their consent?

I record all my pro teams meeting with OBS in order to be able to watch a part of it in case my attention has been drifting away. It is perfectly legal.

I would totally need their consent if I had any plan to make those videos available to anyone else but that is another subject (diffusion).

Because in some states consent is required before recording a conversation. Regardless of what you plan to use the recording for.

That is not how the law works. It is illegal to record them period.
