Before you rush to download an application to record your call, it is important to know if it’s legal to record calls in your country. Indeed, it would be a pity to be a victim of legal proceedings for your action.
Be aware that in some countries, case law allows a telephone conversation to be recorded for possible use as evidence. Of course, it must be in accordance with your dispute and must not infringe on fundamental rights and freedoms.
As with a traditional call, you simply have to inform the other party of the recording of the conversation and the other party agrees to it. If you refuse, you cannot record the video conversation.
Of course, it is possible to record a conversation without wanting to use it in a legal situation. This can be for an interview or a memory for example.
