Learn about voice recording, meeting recording, and consent considerations when using VIVE Eagle AI smart glasses with VIVE Connect, including privacy responsibilities and recording awareness features.
VIVE Eagle includes a voice recording feature that allows you to record voice notes, conversations, and meetings for later transcription and AI-generated summaries. Before recording, it is important to understand your responsibilities regarding privacy, consent, and applicable local laws. VIVE Eagle is designed to help you capture information conveniently, but users remain responsible for ensuring recordings are made appropriately and lawfully.
What can voice recording be used for?
With VIVE Eagle, you can record:
- Personal voice notes
- Conversations
- Face-to-face meetings
- Discussions that you want to transcribe or summarize later using VIVE AI Notes
Recorded audio can be transcribed and used to generate AI summaries through VIVE Connect. Depending on the recording, summaries may include details such as key discussion points and action items.
Obtain consent before recording
Many regions have laws or regulations that govern the recording of conversations. Before you record a conversation, meeting, interview, or discussion, make sure you understand and comply with the laws and requirements that apply to your location.
As a best practice:
- Inform participants that recording will take place.
- Obtain any required consent before recording begins.
- Respect requests from individuals who do not wish to be recorded.
- Follow your organization's policies, venue rules, or event requirements when applicable.
Because legal requirements vary by jurisdiction, VIVE cannot determine whether a specific recording is permitted in your situation. Users are responsible for ensuring that their use of voice recording complies with applicable laws and regulations.
Be transparent when recording meetings and conversations
When recording a meeting or conversation:
- Notify participants before recording starts.
- Clearly identify the purpose of the recording if appropriate.
- Stop recording if a participant requests that recording end and applicable policies require it.
- Avoid recording sensitive discussions unless you have the necessary permissions and authorizations.
Being transparent helps build trust and reduces the risk of privacy concerns or misunderstandings.
Consider the privacy of recorded information
Voice recordings may contain personal information, confidential business information, or sensitive discussions. Before sharing recordings, transcripts, or summaries:
- Review the content carefully.
- Ensure you are authorized to share the information.
- Confirm that sharing complies with privacy requirements and organizational policies.
- Remove recordings that are no longer needed.
VIVE Eagle and VIVE Connect include privacy and security protections for user data, and the platform is designed with encryption and user control in mind.
Respect private and sensitive environments
Avoid recording in locations or situations where recording may be prohibited or inappropriate, such as:
- Areas with posted no-recording policies
- Confidential meetings
- Medical, legal, or financial consultations
- Locations where participants have a reasonable expectation of privacy
Always follow local laws, venue requirements, and organizational policies regarding audio recording.
