Recording of electronic conference for non-attending invitee

1. At least one device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

storage accessible to the at least one processor and comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor to:

determine that an invitee to a video conference is not attending the video conference;

based on the invitee being a required attendee for the video conference, record at least part of the video conference based on the determination that the invitee is not attending the video conference; and

based on the invitee being an optional attendee for the video conference, decline to record at least part of the video conference.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to:

determine that the invitee to the video conference is not attending the video conference and determine that the invitee requested that at least part of the video conference be recorded based on the invitee not attending the video conference; and

responsive to the determinations, one or more of: record at least part of the video conference, prompt an attendee of the video conference to record at least part of the video conference.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein data indicating that the invitee requested that at least part of the video conference be recorded is received as part of a response to a meeting invitation sent to the invitee.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the instructions are executable to:

present, on a display, a graphical user interface (GUI) presenting the meeting invitation, the GUI comprising a selector that is selectable for the invitee to generate the data, the data used for the determination that the invitee requested that at least part of the video conference be recorded based on the invitee not attending the video conference.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to:

determine that the invitee to the video conference is not attending the video conference and determine that a human organizer of the video conference has indicated that, based on the invitee not attending the video conference, at least part of the video conference be recorded, the human organizer being different from the attendee; and

responsive to the determinations, one or more of: record at least part of the video conference, prompt the attendee of the video conference to record at least part of the video conference.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the human organizer provides the indication through a graphical user interface (GUI) used to schedule the video conference.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to:

determine that the invitee to the video conference is not attending the video conference and determine that one or more keywords have been spoken by someone actually attending the video conference; and

responsive to the determinations, one or more of: record at least part of the video conference, prompt the attendee of the video conference to record at least part of the video conference.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the one or more keywords comprise a name of the invitee.

9. The device of claim 7 , wherein the one or more keywords indicate that attendees of the video conference are to begin discussing a topic associated with the video conference.

10. A method, comprising

determining that a non-attending invitee to a conference is not attending the conference;

based on the non-attending invitee being a required attendee for the conference, recording at least part of the conference based on the determining that the non-attending invitee is not attending the conference; and

based on the non-attending invitee being an optional attendee for the conference, not recording at least part of the conference.

11. The method of claim 10 , comprising:

determining that the non-attending invitee to the conference has requested that a particular segment of the conference be recorded; and

based on determining that the conference has reached the particular segment, one or more of: recording the particular segment of the conference but not all of the conference, prompting the attendee of the conference to record at least the particular segment of the conference.

12. The method of claim 11 , comprising:

determining that the conference has reached the particular segment based on speech of one or more attendees of the conference; and

based on determining that the conference has reached the particular segment based on the speech of one or more attendees of the conference, one or more of: recording the particular segment of the conference but not all of the conference, prompting the attendee of the conference to record at least the particular segment of the conference.

13. The method of claim 12 , comprising:

maintaining a buffer of content for a most-recent threshold amount of the conference; and

based on determining that the conference has reached the particular segment based on the speech of one or more attendees of the conference, one or more of: recording the particular segment of the conference to include at least part of the buffered content, prompting the attendee of the conference to record the particular segment of the conference including at least part of the buffered content.

14. At least one computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the at least one computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to:

determine that at least part of a conference is to be recorded for a non-attending invitee of the conference and determine that the non-attending invitee has requested that a particular segment of the conference be recorded; and

responsive to the determination that at least part of the conference is to be recorded for the non-attending invitee and based on the determination that the conference has reached the particular segment, one or more of: record the particular segment of the conference, prompt an attendee of the conference to record the particular segment of the conference;

wherein the instructions are executable to:

determine that the conference has reached the particular segment based on data in an electronic agenda for the conference and based on execution of speech recognition software.

15. The at least one CRSM of claim 14 , wherein the speech recognition software comprises natural language processing software.

16. The at least one CRSM of claim 14 , wherein the instructions are executable to:

subsequent to the conference, email, to the non-attending invitee at an email address of the non-attending invitee, a file for the recording.

17. The at least one device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to:

subsequent to the video conference, store a file for the recording in the invitee's personal cloud storage.

18. The at least one device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to:

subsequent to the video conference, email, to the invitee at an email address of the invitee, a file for the recording.

19. The method of claim 10 , comprising:

subsequent to the conference, storing a file for the recording in the non-attending invitee's personal cloud storage.

20. The method of claim 10 , comprising:

subsequent to the conference, emailing, to the non-attending invitee at an email address of the non-attending invitee, a file for the recording.
