Can we solve this by putting a disclaimer in extension home page that it is upto the user to inform all parties and take their consent before recording ? Not really sure how to solve this, would love feedback.

You can invent a very elaborate system of pushing a request to the meet chat, having everyone consent to recording, parsing their responses, and offering feedback and help if it doesn't go as expected.. Or you can just put a disclaimer in your extension that some states require two party consent and remind the user to comply with local laws. Fwiw, I'm on a lot of zoom calls with outside companies that have a "note taker" that is clearly a bot that records video and maybe does transcription. Most of the time it is not mentioned.

Why would you need their consent? I record all my pro teams meeting with OBS in order to be able to watch a part of it in case my attention has been drifting away. It is perfectly legal. I would totally need their consent if I had any plan to make those videos available to anyone else but that is another subject (diffusion).

  Because in some states consent is required before recording a conversation. Regardless of what you plan to use the recording for.

    Ok that is just not the law in my country. I think it is outside the scope of the software to define what one should or shouldn't do depending of every state/country juridiction.

  That is not how the law works. It is illegal to record them period.

    See reply to comment abovr. Juridictions varies depending on location, I don't think a software developer has to make sure its usage complies with every juridictions, it is up to the users to do that.

      Yes, it is up to the user but I was replying to someone that said they record them still and just don't share them. I was stating that is still illegal under the law.

        The point here is that laws vary by jurisdiction.

A disclaimer should work just fine as it’s the users responsibility to adhere to terms in their state/country. Add it to your “terms of use” as well. If you decide to turn it into a business, be sure to consult with an attorney (ie. 30mins).
