Recording a meeting: the camera and the shared screen, for those who consent

A recorded assembly or board meeting now keeps, besides the voice, the camera and the shared screen of the people who consent. The replay shows the speaker or the whole gallery, and a shared screen is never recorded during a secret vote.

Meeting recording kept the voices of the people who consent, their transcript and, if the syndicate chose it, a summary of each item. A recorded assembly or board meeting now also keeps the picture, when the syndicate's plan includes it.

What is recorded, and for whom

  • The camera and the shared screen of each person who consents are recorded, each on a track in their name, along with their voice.
  • Keeping one's camera off is enough not to be filmed: the voice is then recorded alone.
  • A new consent is asked. Someone who had consented to voice-only recording is filmed only after accepting the new notice, which names the picture and the screen.
  • Declining does not prevent anyone from attending, speaking or voting, and consent can be withdrawn at any time during the meeting.
  • A meeting held in CondoAide, other than an assembly or a board meeting, records the voice only.

What never is

  • A screen shared during a secret vote: the track stops two seconds before the vote opens.
  • No face analysis: no recognition, no faceprint, and the AI summary does not use the pictures.

Watching the meeting again

In the "Recording" tab, "Video layout" switches between "Speaker", which shows the person speaking and the shared screen, and "Gallery", which shows everyone. The transcript and the sound are ready first; the picture follows, and the panel says "Picture being prepared" until then. When nobody had their camera on at the chosen moment, the panel says when the video starts, with a button to go there.

The picture is recorded, processed and kept in Quebec, like the voice, and follows the same retention periods. What changes for the summary and the minutes is described in From notice to minutes.
