What do I have to do before I start the recording?
Am I allowed?
Yes, you are allowed, but certain rules apply:
If the recording is only to be used in private, you still have to ask the lecturer, seminar leader etc. if you can record. If he or she says no, you cannot record anything.
If you are going to publish or share the recording, you have to get written consent from all the participants, including the lecturer. You also have to make sure that everybody has been informed about their rights. An information sheet has been made for this purpose.
