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
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
-
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.
