How to record a meeting in Microsoft Teams

Start recording

In a Teams meeting, one person can record at a time. When you start recording a meeting, everyone will be notified automatically. You can also turn on live transcriptions and view them during the meeting.

To start a meeting recording:

Start or join the meeting.

In your meeting controls, select More actions

> Record and transcribe

> Start recording

.

Notes: Meeting recordings won't capture:

More than four peoples' video streams at once

Whiteboards and annotations

Shared notes

Content shared by apps

Videos or animations embedded in PowerPoint Live presentations

Stop recording

In the meeting controls, select More actions

> Record and transcribe

.

Choose one of the following:

Stop recording to stop the recording and live transcription.

Stop transcription to stop the live transcription only. The recording will continue until you select Stop recording.

Important:

Teams meeting recordings are no longer saved to Microsoft Stream. All recordings are now saved to OneDrive for Business.

If your organization still uses Stream, please note:

After a recording stops, it's processed and saved to Stream. Then, it's ready to play.

When a recording is available, the meeting organizer will receive an email. The recording will appear in the meeting chat or channel.

If an admin has set a company policy for saving to Stream, accept it before recording.

Find recordings

Recordings are available in different places depending on the type of meeting.

The recording is processed and saved in the meeting organizer's OneDrive for Business.

The meeting recording shows up in the meeting chat or channel conversation (if you’re meeting in a channel).

Note: For now, guests and external attendees can view the recording only if it's explicitly shared with them.

Who can start or stop a recording?

Anyone who meets the following criteria can start or stop a recording if the meeting organizer has their cloud recording policy setting turned on
