In two party consent states, don't need explicit consent from the other party, you just have to tell them you're recording or using a live transcription service that captures but doesn't store audio. But explicit consent is better (which can just be them acknowledging what you said with "ok") if you ever need to defend yourself.

With Notion it's still you doing the recording, you're the one using software and clicking a button to record.

is that right? good to know. I always thought that you had to seek consent before the recording starts, and I thought Notion started when the meeting started when the feature was enabled

you're correct that technically before any audio is recorded, you need to inform and/or get explicit consent. even a single word recorded prior to that isn't two party consent.

i assume with notion you'd need to click the "yes transcribe this" both after the meeting starts and after you inform other party if it's a two party state.
