Call recording consent for AI receptionists

This is general information, not legal advice. State laws on recording phone calls differ, and the safe approach is to disclose recording at the start of every call.

One-party vs all-party

Some states require only one party to consent. Others require everyone on the call. Pennsylvania, Maryland, Florida, Illinois and Massachusetts are commonly listed as all-party states.

The safe default

Have the greeting say the call may be recorded, regardless of state.

Talk to a lawyer

Laws change and have exceptions. Confirm with an attorney in your state.
