At BetterUp, one of our biggest aspirations is to help coaches improve their craft. We know that one of the ways to do that is by enabling coaches to revisit a coaching session, and break down the various conversational components that add value to coaching (open-ended questioning, listening, thoughtful pauses, etc).
We’re excited to finally be in a position to be able to offer session recordings in a way that is highly aligned with our privacy standards, session confidentiality, and opt-in assurance. Session Recordings provide members with the ability to review recordings and revisit specific areas of improvement highlighted by the coach. Additionally, a transcript of the session is automatically generated and provided alongside the video, allowing users to quickly identify the most meaningful moments.
No consent, no recording! Privacy is our top priority. Sessions will be recorded only if both the coach and the member agree to the recording. Both parties can opt-out of recordings at any time. Members will experience this same consent process flow on their side.
Please note that not all members have access to Session Recordings.
Consenting to Session Recordings
Please note that if you have consented to the recording, the session will only be recorded if your coach has also consented to session recordings.
You will be asked to consent at the beginning of every session and will be able to give, or decline, consent to a recording.
Additionally, members and coaches can always change their recording preferences at any time. To change your settings:
-
Click your avatar and from the dropdown, click Account
- Under the Session recording section, uncheck the box to disable or check the box to enable the recording functionality
-
Click Save changes
Please note that you will still be prompted to opt-in or opt-out for each session with your coach even if you have approved the recording permissions previously.
If you would like to screen share during your session recording, please see our Screen Sharing Help Center article for details.

Privacy & Session Recordings
Privacy is extremely important to us. We have provided our complete Privacy Policy on our website which you can access here: BetterUp Privacy Policy
No consent, no recording! Privacy is our top priority. Sessions will be recorded only if both the coach and the member agree to the recording. Both parties can opt-out of recordings at any time. Members will experience this same consent process flow on their side.
As a BetterUp for Individuals Member, if you have enabled session recordings, then the Record for insight widget will be prompted for both you and your coach at the start of the session. If you both opt in, the call is recorded. If at least 1 opts-out, the call is not recorded.

Opt Out:
Recording will never be possible if the member (or coach) doesn't opt-in.
We do not send any notifications to the other party, so you will not know if the other party has consented.
