Tell HN: Notion Desktop is monitoring your audio and network

Does any of that microphone detection stuff send anything over the network to Notion to indicate that the check was done, plus the check's results?

let me look

EDIT: no, there's no transmission of logs or analytics events besides a check to see if the feature is enabled. We only transmit some data if you ask Notion to record.

Thanks for the answer.

Just want to clarify for pedantic reasons - is there transmission regardless of whether it's enabled or disabled? And does that happen only if someone asks Notion to record?

If you ask Notion to record will record if you don’t ask not to record, we won’t record
