In Microsoft Teams, users can record their Teams meetings and group calls to capture audio, video, and screen sharing activity. There is also an option for recordings to have automatic transcription, so that users can play back meeting recordings with closed captions and search for important discussion items in the transcript.
While all Teams meetings can be recorded, meeting recording also needs to be enabled by an IT admin, too, and guests can not record. Microsoft describes who can and can’t do meeting recordings in the list above, so be sure to give it a read before you proceed. It’s also worth noting that any meeting organizer can stop or start recording.
This is because the Microsoft Stream cloud service is only available in the United States, Europe, Asia Pacific, Australia, India, United Kingdom, and Canada. In other words, if the Stream data center and the MS Teams data center are not located in the same location or region, the meeting recording feature won’t work.
Contact your ID admin and make sure the recording feature is enabled in Meeting Policies. If the recording option is not working in the Teams app, check if you can record the web version’s meeting. Your Teams cache may sometimes break certain features.
Yet another question we ran across in our research was “Why can’t I get a transcript of my Microsoft Teams meeting?”.
When users record their Teams meetings, they can confirm whether a transcript should automatically be generated after the meeting is recorded. If admins have disabled transcription capability for the meeting organizer and the recording initiator, the recording initiator will not get a choice to transcribe the meeting recordings.
How do I download a Microsoft Teams recording?
Microsoft shifted Teams recordings to these two locations, but if your org is still using Stream, you can follow our older steps here on how to download the video. If the meeting was in a channel, the recording will be stored in a Recordings folder in the Files tab for the channel. Just click on the top bar in the channel to find this location.
You also need a Microsoft Stream license and video upload permissions. Make sure you have enough storage in Microsoft Stream to save your recording. If the IT admin set up specific company guidelines for meeting recording, make sure you agreed to them. Ensure the Teams Meeting Policy called Allow Cloud Recording is set to true.
What is the best screen recorder for Microsoft Teams?
Vidmore Screen Recorder is a powerful screen recorder available to all cloud meeting services including Microsoft Teams. It is able to save your meetings in high quality videos without notifying other members. Record meetings in Microsoft Teams on PC and Mac. Support webcam and microphone capture while recording.
Why can’t I upload the recording to teams stream?
By the way, if Teams fails to upload the recording to Stream, use this troubleshooting guide to solve the problem. Contact your ID admin and make sure the recording feature is enabled in Meeting Policies. Implement the feature globally, if that’s possible. In other words, ensure the recording option is enabled as an org-wide policy.
Where can I find the recording link in the teams channel?
For non-channel meetings, the recording is stored in the Recordings folder under My files. For channel meetings, the recording is stored in the Teams site documentation library in the Recordings folder in Share, and point. To find the recording link in the Teams channel, select Files > Recordings > Open in Share, and point.
