Many countries have implemented regulations that require organizations to explicitly ask for consent when collecting user generated information, for example - GDPR in Europe.

Explicit consent requires participants to agree when consent-required features are started in the meetings. Consent-required features include:

• Meeting recordings

• AI assistant

• Meeting transcripts

If a participant doesn't consent, they are placed in a read-only mode where they can listen to the meeting but their audio and video is turned off, sharing is disabled, and meeting chat is turned off.

Limitations

Participants joining from older client versions, standalone devices, or who call in to the meeting, will continue with the existing experience.

Features such as remote desktop control, whiteboards, and annotation, won't be blocked for participants who have declined consent.
