Having been at Google: this will bring back the telephone. Many employees don't even get a phone unless they ask for it, although maybe lawyers do (not sure).

If "off the record" IM isn't really off the record, then there's no point in doing it.

Is there an obligation to record meetings, too?

No. But nearly all larger meetings are online (Hangout, it used to be) and sometimes they're recorded. So IF they've recorded it, presumably they have to preserve it now.
