Can you record a meeting if the host disabled recording?
Yes. If the host turned off the platform’s built-in recording, or your IT blocks notetaker bots, you can still capture the meeting locally. Reline records your microphone and the meeting’s system audio on your own device — independent of Zoom, Teams, or Meet settings — so there’s nothing for the platform to disable. Always get consent first.

The details
- Platform recording controls and blocked-bot policies govern the platform’s own recorder and third-party bots — not the audio your computer plays through its speakers.
- Reline captures that system audio plus your mic locally on Mac, Windows, or Linux, so it works even when cloud recording is off or bots can’t join.
- This is about capability, not permission: a host disabling recording can also signal that people don’t want to be recorded — get consent and follow your local laws and company policy.
- You get a speaker-labeled transcript and a citation-backed summary; capture is local, transcription and AI run in the cloud.
