From ZOOM page on FERPA Compliance (https://zoom.us/docs/doc/FERPA%20Guide.pdf):

"What are “education records”? Education records directly relate to a student and are maintained by an educational institution or by a party on behalf of the agency or institution. Video recordings/streams may be considered education records under certain circumstances and may require parental consent if a minor is under the age of 18. More information on this topic can be found at the ed.gov website."

From what I understand, it depends on who has access to the recordings: if it's only for other students in the same class, then it's not an issue and it doesn't require media releases, but if anyone else has access to it, then yes, it's an issue unless you have signed releases (which needs to include the purposes for sharing that recording).
I don't know about specific issues with recording minors in particular, though. I'm only talking about college-level classes.

We were just talking about this among ourselves in my department yesterday. A colleague dug up our university's FERPA-related media release form about recordings. I think it is a FERPA violation to record online classes without signed media releases.

Hello,

I supervise community-based language programming and was wondering if
there are there any FERPA regulations on conducting online classes for
minors. I've heard both sides: some that say its not an issue as long as
we don't
record class sessions (e.g. via Zoom) that show kids' faces and others
that say that FERPA rules do not allow for conducting online sessions. Any
clarification on this would be greatly helpful.

Thanks,
Sandhya Shanker
