Too many legal issues. You are not allowed to just record someone whenever you feel like it.

Too many legal issues. You are not allowed to just record someone whenever you feel like it.
- greenyoda 10y agoIt's even more complicated than that - it depends on what jurisdiction you're in. In the U.S., some states have "single party consent" laws, in which only one of the parties to a conversation has to consent to being recorded (i.e., you can legally record any conversation you're part of). But other states have "all party consent" laws, in which all people in the conversation must consent to being recorded. And, of course, Skype operates in multiple countries, so there are even more variations of these laws to be aware of. So it's much easier for Skype to have nothing to do with recording and avoid all potential legal liability.
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoGoogle Voice seemed to manage it alright. Simply pressing 4 during a call would stop and start recording. Google Voice would state in the call that it was being recorded, so everyone would know.
