Record a meeting, with everyone’s consent.
A recorded meeting carries the voices and words of its participants. Here, point by point, is how Escouade Meet obtains their consent, what it keeps, where, for how long, and what your assistant can read.
The participants’ consent
Telling participants and obtaining their consent is the organiser’s job. Meet helps at every step:
- In person, the recorder has consent confirmed before recording.
- On a video call, the bot announces itself in the chat, and leaves if a participant answers “no”, where the chat allows it.
- In a waiting room, nothing is recorded until the organiser lets it in.
- The bot can be removed at any time, at your request or the organiser’s.
- By default, a meeting’s organiser receives an email, once per meeting, telling them it is recorded, and letting them refuse.
What is recorded, and where
On a video call, the bot that joins and records the meeting is hosted in the European Union; its copy of the meeting is deleted once brought back to our server, at most seven days after the meeting, and trains no model. Live transcription and the transcription of phone recordings go through a European endpoint, which keeps the audio only for the duration of the request.
The minutes are written from the text alone: the audio is never sent to the model that writes them.
How long
Nothing is deleted by default. You can choose to delete your meetings after 30 days, 90 days or a year. A deleted meeting spends seven days in the bin, then all its copies are erased.
You export your minutes as Markdown or JSON at any time, and you close your account from the settings.
Your calendars
Meet reads your Google and Outlook calendars without ever changing them, over a window from one hour in the past to the next seven days, and only the calendars you choose.
No Google or Microsoft password is entered into Meet; sign-in tokens are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM).
What your assistant can read
Your assistant, connected through the MCP, only has the rights you open to it, tool by tool; reading transcripts needs a separate permission.
It never receives the video, and the audio is only served to it through an address valid for five minutes. It can prepare an action, which you confirm; it can neither delete nor pay.
What is shared
Your meetings stay private until you share them. Minutes sent to the participants go without the transcript, your personal notes or the audio.
Who owns the minutes
The minutes, transcripts and recordings produced for your company belong to it. What it puts into Escouade is processed on its behalf: it is the controller, and we act as its processor.
Escouade Meet
Escouade Meet opens video rooms, joins your usual video calls and records your meetings in the field, then writes the minutes: the decisions, the actions, who owns them. The minutes join the deal and the contacts they concern, and your agent can read them again.
Questions
Do we need the participants’ consent?
Yes. The organiser tells them that the meeting is recorded and obtains their consent; Meet announces itself, has consent confirmed in person, and leaves on a “no” where the chat allows it.
Can we record a job interview?
Yes, after informing the candidate. The recruitment minutes stay factual, with no personal judgement and no discriminatory criterion, and do not decide for you.
Is a deleted meeting really deleted?
Yes. It spends seven days in the bin, then all its copies are erased.
