Recording Meetings in Microsoft Teams
Recording a meeting to reference later or share with others who could not attend is an important option to have. Microsoft Teams meeting recordings will capture audio, video, and screen sharing activity. The video can then be securely shared.
Only one person can record a meeting at a time. When a user starts recording, everyone in the meeting will be notified. You can also turn on live transcriptions and view them during the meeting.
