Is it legal to record calls with parents in two-party consent states?

For Tutoring Services

Call recording laws depend on your state, and roughly a dozen states, including California, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Washington, require two-party (or all-party) consent, meaning everyone on the call needs to be notified that it is being recorded, while the majority of states are one-party consent, where the business itself being aware is sufficient. This applies to any tutoring business using Voksha the same way it applies to any business using a call system that logs or records calls for quality or booking-accuracy purposes. Practically, this means a tutoring center in a two-party consent state should include a brief recorded disclosure at the start of the call, something like calls may be recorded for quality and scheduling accuracy, before the AI receptionist proceeds with the conversation, which is standard practice and something you configure during setup as part of your greeting. Tutoring businesses that operate across multiple states, such as a franchise with locations in both California (two-party) and Texas (one-party), need to apply the stricter two-party standard consistently or configure disclosures per location depending on the phone number being called. This is not unique to Voksha; any answering service, call center, or receptionist software that logs calls faces the same requirement, and it is a legal obligation on the business owner regardless of which tool answers the phone. If you are unsure which category your state falls into or you operate across state lines, a quick check against your state's specific wiretapping and eavesdropping statute is worth doing once during setup, since the disclosure requirement is a one-time configuration rather than an ongoing burden.
