Can I record this call?
Pick your state to see whether you can record a call, whether you need the other person's consent and which Act applies. Includes the state-by-state map and a line you can say to get consent on the record.
State by state: one-party or all-party consent
All-party consent
Everyone on the call must agree before you record. Recording without consent can be a criminal offence.

One-party consent
As a party to the call you may record without the other person's consent, but telling them is still the safer habit.
