Should probably mention thats audio recording.

Video recording is much less restricted.

Good point. I updated the title.

This doesn't look entirely accurate. Vermont doesn't have a law on the books, meaning we default to the federal standard of one party consent.

This map isn't entirely accurate. I know some states on here that are one party for police and two party for domestic abuse, but they're marked as one party on this map.

This.

Michigan is a One-Party Consent state for an example of one of the inaccuracies.

What if I am in Kansas and the other party is in Missouri at the time of the call?

According to the map, you can record whomever you like, including Missourians, from Kansas.

I thought maybe there would be a federal law that would regulate interstate phone communication recording.

What’s with Rhode Island in gray? Anything goes?

That is precisely what grey refers to here. This is legal advice™ btw.
