Before recording any call with audio, including FaceTime calls, you may need to ask permission from the other person (or people) on the call, depending on your region. It's important to be aware of your region's call recording laws before starting your recording. For example, in the US, all parties on a call in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Washington are some states that require this.
