# Everyone on the talk has to agree

All-party consent means every person on the talk must agree before a recording starts, and what is all party consent at the door is that rule for the sit, not a phone-only slogan. Knockdesk is field sales software that asks the rep to confirm consent before the file starts. This page is general information, not legal advice.

## A file that starts before the yes is already the wrong file

You feel it when the closer is already talking and nobody asked the table. What is all party consent is the pause: every person in that talk has to agree. One-party consent is a different rule, where one person in the talk can be enough. Your counsel names which rule applies. Knockdesk does not name the state for you.

**The pause.** Confirm consent, then start. A tape that began in the driveway is not that pause.

**Skip.** Skip Recording logs the visit with no file. The deal still has to sit on the pin.

**Not this page.** This page is general information, not legal advice. Open the state table when you need the place.

## All-party is not one-party, and it is not the city card

One-party consent is the other recording rule. A solicitor permit is the local license to knock. Neither one is the consent click before the file.

- [One-party consent](/glossary/one-party-consent): The other recording rule, when one person in the talk can be enough.

## How Knockdesk tracks it

The rep picks verbal consent, written consent, or consent they will capture on the recording, then starts the file. Skip Recording continues the knock with no tape. Knockdesk does not ask the other party, and it does not send a statutory notice for you. The outcome the rep logged still sits on the deal. Full desk is on the pricing page.
