I’m also not sure why you’re not seeing the main issue.

Common meeting recording tools do not require consent, and the UX promotes a UX that discourages consent.

Just today, Notion launched a new feature in their desktop app which causes a pop up on your desktop whenever you’re about to join a Google Meet. All it says it “Would you like to record this meeting? Please ensure you gather consent from attendees”

Of course the consent gathering isn’t enforced, and it records and transcribes silently in the background without joining the meeting.

I understand it’s technically possible to do what you’re saying. I also understand the built-in recording of Google Meet, etc, all make it obvious that the meeting is recorded.

The only point I’m trying to make is it’s extremely common for meeting recording tools to not join meetings and not ask for consent directly. If you ignore/deny this is happening, I fear you’re fooling yourself into thinking you’re not being recorded when in fact you very well might be, unknowingly, by any of your meeting attendees.
