* The meeting organizer/host will be the one who creates the meeting in the shared mailbox. Only the meeting organizer/host can edit the settings for the meeting.
** Recording meetings should always be done with great care. In terms of compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it should always be considered whether it is possible to collect the desired information in a way that reduces the possibility of information being compromised. For example, it could be sufficient to make a written record of the video meeting. As a rule of thumb, meetings should not be recorded unless a video recording of the meeting would have been established for a similar physical meeting.
