Companies that license video, audio and call recordings (October 2026)

The providers in this table say they accept video, audio or recordings, but most are built around media archives, and few name the recordings a typical business holds, such as recorded calls, meetings or site footage. Published payment terms for recordings are thinner than for email and documents, as of October 2026.

What counts as video or audio on this list?

Data Licensing Report lists any provider whose public materials, as of October 2026, say it accepts video, audio or recorded material such as calls and meetings, in any of its programs. A listing does not mean the provider’s business-data program takes recordings: Troveo, for example, licenses video and audio through a separate content-owner program.

Which providers take business recordings, and which take media archives?

• Recorded work. LH2 AI Labs lists “recorded work (calls, meetings, floor video)” next to codebases, tickets and filings, and names enterprises, hospitals and factories as sources. Among business-data programs, Polyshares lists call recordings in the working record it licenses.
• Archives and libraries. Troveo’s content-owner program licenses footage from creators and media companies, prefers 1080p or 4K, and lists categories such as documentary, sports, interviews and drone footage. License My Data’s video track is aimed at producers, filmmakers and broadcasters with finished archives, and its list includes recorded conferences and meetings with slides, multi-track audio and manufacturing footage. Defined.ai accepts audio, video, image, text or multimodal datasets and names cinematic data, anime, coding and STEM as high-demand.

For security-camera or site footage, the closest named categories are LH2’s floor video and License My Data’s first-person task and manufacturing footage. Ask before assuming other footage qualifies, and list it in your data inventory so a provider can say.

Who has to clear the people in a recording?

Recordings carry the voices and faces of employees and customers, so removing names from a transcript is not the whole job. These providers put the rights question on the owner. Defined.ai requires “proper consent, documentation, and the right to commercialize the data for AI training”. License My Data says consent for clinical material “must be documented, not asserted”. LH2 says de-identification happens inside the source perimeter, before data leaves. Before applying, check what your call-recording notices and employee agreements say about later use, and ask each provider which consent records it needs.

How are recordings priced?

Published pricing is sparse. The New York Post reported in March 2025 that footage in Troveo’s video program typically sold for $0.75 to $3 a minute, and Troveo’s content-owner page describes payment as a royalty each time content is used. Defined.ai pays licensing fees from marketplace sales. LH2 publishes no payment model for data owners, and License My Data publishes no price range for video, as of October 2026.
