It might be just me, but I like having meetings recorded, and not for having ammunition in my hands when the team starts the blame game, the he said she said. I joined a team where some meetings are recorded and I really like being able to re-watch meetings and discussions.
Let's assume there is an important discussion, an alignment where I really stretch my capabilities. I can't pay attention to the topic and take notes/memorize everything at the same time. If I know there is a recording, I can fully dedicate the meeting (where other people are present) to paying attention, asking good questions, challenge their assumptions and so on.
Then, the next day, I can listen to the call, pause, increase speed 2x,3x, take notes for myself, write minutes, write summaries for internal use (casual slack message), notice inconsistencies in our thinking, or run an AI note taker all on my own schedule.
And let's not forget when someone is sick, need to pick up a mother in law from the airport, have a parallel meeting, or joined a week after an important alignment.
If the meeting wasn't that important? No problem, just ignore it. Set up a sane auto delete rule, and that's it.
In practice, I don't think people spend time snooping around where they shouldn't, so that isn't really an issue.
