Does Sembly comply with call recording laws?

Sembly ensures all meeting participants are aware of recording through multiple notification layers:

  • An automatic chat message inside the meeting 
  • An email notification to all participants before the meeting starts

Sembly also appears as a visible participant in the call with its own name, so there are no hidden recordings.

However, since call recording laws vary by country and region, we recommend checking your local regulations before recording conversations with external participants.
