Nintendo Nintendo has updated its privacy policy to confirm that it may record video and audio from GameChat

[cm2]

Read from Nintendo Life:
Here's what the privacy policy now states:

"Our services may allow you to create, upload or share content such as text, images, audio, video, your nickname and user icon, or other content that you create or is licensed to you. With your consent, and to enforce our terms, we may also monitor and record your video and audio interactions with other users."

And here's some additional information that goes toward providing some reasoning for the change:

"We clarified that we may collect, monitor and record audio and video of your chat sessions with other users to provide a safe and secure environment for certain of our services."

Hopefully, there is an option to not let Nintendo record video and audio in the future since not everyone feels comfortable letting Nintendo store their video and voice recordings.

"it may" nah, they will.

So this could be a good thing, but it could be an annoying thing if Nintendo demonetises various smaller channels.
