My understanding is that taking notes on a conversation and recording
the conversation are, legally, entirely different.

Also, I think it's *possible*, given the way all-parties-consent laws
are written, that one needs consent from everyone on the call, even
people who are not speaking.

The practical solution is to announce at the start of the meeting, and
whenever taking questions, that the meeting is being recorded.  What I
don't know is if that's sufficient in every jurisdiction that could
possibly apply.   If anyone knows how to find that out, without paying
vast legal fees, that would be an interesting contribution.

It would also be nice to somehow keep a measure of how many people are
silenced by the idea of a recording being made.
