Introduction

Microsoft Teams offers the ability to record meetings, both audio and video, for later viewing or sharing. These recordings can be accessed from the Teams app or from the Microsoft Stream video platform.

There are a few key points to keep in mind when it comes to recording Teams meetings:

• Only the meeting organizer or a delegate can start or stop a recording.

• Recordings are automatically saved to the cloud, so they can be accessed from any device with an internet connection.
