If a meeting has an agenda and summary / minutes of what was discussed, this seems redundant. A summary doesn't take long compared to the cost of trawling through video. Also, some may speak their mind less if it's 'on record'.
If it doesn't have the above, was the meeting necessary? If something material and of substance arises, make a note of it, a note that has discoverability. What about retention policy? References in the future?
Is this to encourage people not to attend?
It seems something no sane organisation would do for the purposes of having a meeting. For marketing, for a presentation, for a demonstration, promises or interactions with a customer or supplier, recordings make sense as far as they're needed for that explicit purpose.
My 2p. Interested in use cases others may have though.
