Q:I heard that condominium Zoom meetings now must be recorded and kept as official records. Is that correct? J.P., Sanibel
A: Yes, recent changes to the Condominium Act created a new definition of video conference in Section 718.103(33), Florida Statutes, and added specific requirements for meetings conducted in that manner. A video conference is defined as a real-time audio- and video-based meeting between two or more people in different locations using video-enabled and audio-enabled devices. If a board or membership meeting is held by video conference, it must be recorded, and that recording must be maintained as an official record of the association. In other words, if the association chooses to conduct a meeting through a platform such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or a similar service that includes both audio and video, the association is now legally required to record that meeting and treat the recording in the same way that it treats minutes and other official records.
