For every "record call" app / feature out there, consider: https://recordinglaw.com/party-two-party-consent-states/

Most people don't even know or think about this. When people join a meeting I host and invite their robot, I kick the robot out. Otherwise, I'm just not sure they are actually engaged in the meeting. If you don't want to be on the meeting, decline it. But don't assume it's cool to record everything. Some of us work in industries (legal being one) where you don't want to create recordings, especially of privileged discussions.

Thanks for your opinion! You can always decide if you want the meeting to be recorded or not. The tool is useful in some use cases, however, you're right, some conversations should not be recorded.
I think what they’re actually saying is in certain states, both parties need to consent to being recorded. As in clicking a button to approve. Which is different than the recorder simply deciding to record by default.
