Recording consent and audio retention
Admins choose whether the consent line shows before each recording and how long audio is kept. Notes always stay.
Updated 8 Oct 2026
Meeting audio is the most personal thing KretaOS stores, and it is also what uses the most storage. Admins decide two things for the whole workspace: whether people are reminded to ask before they record, and how long the audio file is kept.
Where to set it
Open Settings › Compliance and find the Recorded meetings card. Admins see the controls; everyone else sees the current setting.
Consent line before every recording
When this is on, everyone who presses Record first sees "Let the others know you're recording" and must tick They know I'm recording before Start recording. It is on by default and shows every time.
Turn it off only if your team already has another way of making sure people agree, such as a notice in every meeting invite.
Keep meeting audio
Choose one:
| Option | What happens |
|---|---|
| Keep (the default) | Audio stays until someone deletes it. |
| 90 days | Audio is deleted 90 days after the meeting. |
| 1 year | Audio is deleted a year after the meeting. |
This is about the audio file only. Notes and transcripts are always kept, and so is the meeting on the client's page. Changing the option applies to every recording in the workspace, including older ones, and deletion happens overnight.
Delete audio from one meeting
You do not need a policy to remove a single recording's audio:
- Open the meeting from Recordings.
- Press Delete audio · keeps notes.
- Press Delete audio to confirm, or Keep to change your mind.
The person who recorded it, or an admin, can do this. The page then says "Audio deleted. The notes and transcript are kept."
See what audio uses
Settings › Library shows Storage: how much your files use and how much recording audio uses, with a list of the largest meetings and a Delete audio button on each.
Good to know
- Nothing deletes audio by itself except the policy you choose here, or a person's request to erase their data.
- A data erasure request also removes that person's lines from transcripts and the audio of the meetings they were in. See Erasure.
