Recording Responsibly with TwinMind

TwinMind makes it easy to capture your conversations so nothing important slips away. When other people are part of those conversations, a little courtesy goes a long way. This guide walks you through the basics of recording with respect.

1. Getting Everyone on Board

A quick heads-up before you record is always a kind move, whether or not the law asks for it. People appreciate knowing, and it keeps things open and comfortable for everyone in the room.

2. Recording Laws Vary by Location

Rules around recording can be different from place to place. In some areas, it’s fine as long as one person in the conversation is okay with it, and that can be you. In others, everyone needs to say yes first.

Since participants may join from different places, the safest approach is to assume you need consent from everyone and ask up front.

For the rules in a specific area, this state-by-state overview is a useful starting point.

3. How to Ask for Consent

Bring it up at the start. Something like “I’m using TwinMind to take notes, is that alright with everyone?” is usually enough.
Add it to the invite. For recurring or external meetings, a short note in the calendar invite gives people a heads-up.
Respect a no. If someone would rather not be recorded, no problem. You can stop recording whenever you like.

4. You Are Always in Control

When you turn on Save Audio, TwinMind uses your audio to improve accuracy and identify who said what. Saved audio is encrypted, and you can change this choice anytime in Settings.
