Record a call or huddle

We need a recording of the postmortem huddle for the distributed team. Start the huddle in the #ops-postmortem channel, begin recording at the top of the meeting, and announce that the recording will be stored in the incident folder and available to anyone who couldn’t attend. Stop recording only after I confirm we've finished action items.

Before recording the huddle, make the output useful: announce the recording and its purpose at the start, display the incident timeline on-screen, note which segments are for public vs restricted sharing, and mark timestamps for decisions and action owners. Flag anything that would make legal or leadership hesitate to share the recording.

I hit record for the incident huddle and during the discussion someone described a vendor contract term that might be legally sensitive. I didn’t mute or pause the recording. I’m worried about legal exposure and about losing trust with the vendor. Should I stop recording and edit later, continue and log the timestamp, or ask legal before doing anything? Recommend the safest immediate action and the wording to use.

We oscillate between recording everything and recording nothing; valuable context gets lost while sensitive items get recorded by mistake. Where are we misjudging what to record and why? Recommend a policy and a brief pre-meeting script so we capture necessary evidence without exposing sensitive details, and who should own redaction or review.
