I heard a person call into a show the other day, voice only, and talk about some poor working conditions at a factory. Made me think about how it would probably be so easy for nefarious bosses to be able to identify that person through voice recognition SW with all of the data that comes from us looking directly into cameras and speaking clearly in modern workplace meetings.
Do “anonymous” callers need to start using voice modulation software for these kinds of calls in the modern world?
It’s been my experience that companies barely know how to get it to work for conferencing.
Pull that in my state without both parties consenting, that’s a felony. Even if I call a 1-party “it’s ok to record 'em” state, they still have to let me know because my state is 2-party. No sane company is fooling with this.

Yea, a lot of companies and even govt agencies have policies against recording meetings except for special circumstances. Edit: to clarify they have policies against employees initiating recordings (let alone automatically recording anything by default)
Once you have it, it’s a record. Now you have to keep it and treat it like one.
With Teams, a user can opt into voice and facial recognition. The benefits are that you can be attributed in conference rooms and in transcription.
Your voice and facial recognition info is deleted when your user account is de-licensed for 30+ days.
This only applies to your tenant though. It doesn’t work when you join meetings from other tenants.
That being said, the tech is there and it’s approaching commodity-levels.
