This article is about whether a strata owner attending an online strata meeting from their home is allowed to make a recording of the meeting for their personal records.
Question: If I attend an online strata meeting from home, can I make a recording of the meeting as a record of the discussion?
I attend strata meetings online, and I find that our minutes are always incorrect. If I attend general meetings from my private home, can I make a recording of the meeting as a reference of the discussion? This is the only way I know exactly what was said during the meeting.
Answer: It would be your choice to make your own recording for your personal records.
There is nothing stopping you from making your own recording. As you have indicated that you are attending via an online hookup, in most, if not all, instances, the strata management would or should record all meetings.
It would be your personal choice to make your own recording for your personal records.
