Teams meetings can be recorded by any presenter. By default, everyone in the meeting is listed as a presenter and has the ability to record. The default settings also start automatic transcripts when recording is started.

Recording and transcription will start automatically.
Recording will stop when the meeting ends. To stop the recording earlier, click the More icon and Stop recording.
Recordings automatically save. It may take a few minutes for meeting recordings to be processed.
Once the recording has been saved it will be posted in the meeting chat and available to all participants.
Recordings can be shared with others or saved in OneDrive or SharePoint for long term storage.
Meeting recordings are deleted after 60 days. You can keep recordings longer by Change Expiration Date of Microsoft Teams Recordings.
