How to Record Microsoft Teams Meetings, Classes, and Calls

(Pocket-lint) – If you are using Microsoft Teams, you should be aware that the service is packed with features, including the ability to record.

Recording is particularly useful if you want to record a meeting to review it later. Imagine, for example, that you are using Microsoft Teams to attend business events, online courses, or seminars. The ability to communicate virtually with others is of course handy in itself, but Teams takes it to another level by allowing you to easily record any meeting, video call, class, session – whatever you want to call it.

The recording captures audio, video and screen sharing activity, which is useful for later when you are studying or just need to remember what your boss said on a call. All attendees are notified when a recording starts, and footage is immediately saved to the cloud (Microsoft Streams) for you and attendees to access immediately. Incredible, right? Here’s all you need to know.
