Recording Consent and Comfort Assessment Survey

Overall, how comfortable are you with being recorded for this specific session?

Are there any conditions, pauses, or topics you'd want excluded from the recording? Let us know here.

Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's comfort rating and any conditions they mentioned. If they rated comfort low or restricted the recording format, gently explore what specifically concerns them (e.g., being quoted, future reuse, who might view it, tone of voice or appearance) and what — if anything — would make them comfortable proceeding. If they were fully comfortable, confirm they understood the retention and access terms rather than just agreeing by default. Do not pressure anyone toward consenting; the goal is to document genuine understanding and surface any unmet conditions before recording begins.
