not sure if I wanna send someone your way if the current PMs are dropping the ball so hard. There's no guarantee if this behavior will be only encouraged for new hires.

in seriousness: we don't listen to your microphone unless you click the button that says "start transcribing" in big letters.
we dropped the ball with the support response quoted the top of the thread. we don't process your microphone data until you click the button to start transcribing, and remind the user to confirm they have two-party consent. we merely detect when a meeting app is using your microphone.
source: i work at notion, just checked the code. it's electron, you're welcome to check for yourself.
