While Zoom gives the option to record a meeting, users must comply with all applicable laws and Penn State policies. Specifically, everyone on the Zoom meeting must be notified in advance if the meeting is being recorded and give their consent to be recorded.

This policy applies only to the recording of meetings and not classroom activities.
