Answers
Do you have to tell people you're recording a meeting?
Often, yes. Recording-consent laws vary: some places require only one party to consent, others require everyone. Regardless of the tool, the responsible and usually legal practice is to tell participants and get agreement before recording. Bot-free capture removes the on-screen bot, but it does not remove your duty to get consent.

The details
- This is general information, not legal advice — check the rules for your jurisdiction and your participants' locations.
- A simple “I'm taking notes with a recorder, is that okay?” at the start covers most situations and builds trust.
- Reline is built for transparent note-taking, not covert surveillance — get consent, then let the tool handle the notes.
