Since OtterPilot records audio in a meeting, per Zoom compliance requirements, a pop-up will now ask the host to grant permission to allow Otter to record the meeting.  This pop-up only appears if local recording is enabled in Zoom and the host is present in the meeting.

Enable Local Recording:

• Sign into your Zoom account.
• Under Personal on the left navigation menu, click Settings.
• Navigate to the Recording tab. (screenshot attached)
  • Toggle ON Local recording.
  • Check Hosts can give meeting participants permission to record locally.

Allow Otter Pilot to Record In-Meeting:

1. At the start of the meeting, OtterPilot will join the meeting. If there is a waiting room, admit OtterPilot into the meeting.
    

2. Once OtterPilot joins successfully, the host will be notified through a pop-up that OtterPilot is requesting to record the meeting. The host will need to click Allow.

• Note: Checking Apply these permissions to all future requests in this meeting will allow OtterPilot to rejoin the meeting without the pop-up again for the current meeting. This setting does not apply to future meetings. The host will need to click Allow Recording for each meeting where OtterPilot is joining.
• Note: Each participant in the meeting will see this pop-up and need to consent as well to being recorded.
