Recording a Teams Meeting

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.

Privacy Consent: When you begin recording a Teams meeting, the camera and microphone of participants will be muted until they consent to being recorded. If they do not consent, they will remain in the meeting with their camera and microphone disabled. They may use the Chat to communicate.

Starting a Recording

  1. While in a Teams meeting, click on the More icon in the top menu.

     

  2. Click Start recording.

  3. Recording and transcription will start automatically.

  4. Recording will stop when the meeting ends. To stop the recording earlier, click the More icon and Stop recording.

  6. Once the recording has been saved it will be posted in the meeting chat and available to all participants.

  7. Recordings can be shared with others or saved in OneDrive or SharePoint for long term storage.
