You seemed to have deleted your other comment - seems like an unusual thing to care about.

> If the recording is done by visible cameras, federal law seems to allow videotaping of individuals in the workplace, even without their consent or knowledge, as long as it is not done to commit a crime.

Yeah I thought it made sense more in the context of this conversation.

Videotaping is one thing, publishing that is another. If I were a member of staff at a company during a rough point, and had to make a tough speech, I might be upset if it came out later. In some jurisdictions, releasing it would likely be a privacy violation, unless consent was obtained first.

Ianal but i think usually these things cone down to: is it reasonable to expect privacy in the situation (e.g. filming someone in their home through a window is different than someone in the street just happening to be in the background of your video).

I don't think most people would reasonably expect privacy in the context of a staff meeting.
