Record and Publish a Microsoft Team Meeting

 

Any Teams meeting or call can be recorded for future viewing. The recording captures audio, video, and screen-sharing activity. 

·       Meeting recordings won't capture whiteboards, annotations, or shared notes, and will not include videos or animations embedded in PowerPoint Live presentations.

·       Downloads of videos will not include transcripts, chapters, and comments.

·       When viewing a meeting recording, you'll see no more than four people's video streams at once.

·       Maximum recording length: 4 hours or 1.5 GB. When this limit is reached, the recording will end and automatically restart.

·       Recording continues even if the user who started the recording has left the meeting. 

·       The recording stops automatically once everyone leaves the meeting. If someone forgets to leave, the recording automatically ends after 4 hours.
