See: http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/california-recording-law http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/california-recording-law That means (ignoring any other rules surrounding meditations) that to be legally able to record the conversation, you need everyone who is being recorded to consent. If even one person says no, you can not, legally, record the meeting.
