Quick summary

Recording a Microsoft Teams meeting takes just a few clicks using the built-in Record and transcribe option. This guide walks you through every step to capture your meeting with audio and a searchable transcript.

Steps

📌 Why this matters

Recording Microsoft Teams meetings ensures that important discussions, decisions, and action items are never lost. The built-in Record and transcribe feature automatically generates a searchable transcript alongside the video recording, making it easy to review key moments without rewatching the entire call. This is especially valuable for remote and hybrid teams who need to keep absent members informed and maintain an accurate record of meetings. Enabling meeting recording directly within Teams eliminates the need for third-party tools and keeps all content securely stored in your Microsoft ecosystem.
