The other approach is simply to take the bull by the horms, set a

Anyone who objects to being recorded probably would rather you forgot
what they said anyway.

Yeah, I have tried that many times, mostly people might say "uh ...
well
... yeah ... I guess so ..." and then the rest of the meeting goes
like
their mother or the Mother Superior from their Catholic high school is
listening in.

That's not necessarily a *bad* thing in many cases! :-)
