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:

  1. Start or join the meeting.

  2. In your meeting controls, select More actions  Microsoft Teams more options iconRecord and transcribe  Record and transcribe iconStart recording  Record and transcribe icon.

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

  1. In the meeting controls, select More actions More options button > Record and transcribe  Record and transcribe icon.

  2. 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: 

  • 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.
