Record a Meeting in Teams

Overview

Record your meetings in Teams to capture audio, video, and screen sharing activity. The recording happens in the cloud, and is saved to either OneDrive, or SharePoint so you can share it securely across your organization.

How do I use this technology?

Record a meeting or a group call

1. Start, or join the meeting.
2. To start recording, go to the meeting controls and select More options ***> Start recording.
   
   
   
   Everyone in the meeting is notified that recording has started.
   
   
   
   The meeting notification is also posted in the chat history.
   
   Note: You can't make multiple recordings of the same meeting at the same time. If one person starts recording a meeting, that recording will be stored online and available to all participants.
3. To stop recording, go to the meeting controls and select More options *** > Stop Recording.
   
   
    
   • The recording is then processed (which could take awhile), and saved to Microsoft Stream. When completed it's ready to play.
   • The person who started the recording receives an email from Microsoft Stream when the recording is available. It also shows up in the meeting chat – or in the channel, if you're meeting in a channel.

Who can start or stop a recording?

Any University of Alaska student, staff, or faculty can start or stop a recording, even if the meeting organizer isn't present.

Notes:

• Recording continues even if the person who started the recording has left the meeting.
• The recording stops automatically once everyone leaves the meeting.
• If someone forgets to leave the meeting, the recording automatically ends after four hours.

Where Are Meeting Recordings Saved To?

All Teams meeting recordings will be saved to either OneDrive, or SharePoint depending upon the nature of the meeting. Non-Channel meetings will be stored in the OneDrive of the person who clicked the record button in a special folder labeled Recordings. Channel meetings will be stored in a folder labeled Recordings under the Team's Channel files. If block downloads is enabled, the video will be stored in a folder labeled View only under the same file path.

Access Permissions to Recording

• All meeting invitees - except for external (i.e. Non-UA) individuals - in non-channel meetings will automatically get a shared link to access the meeting recording.
• External individuals will need to be explicitly added to teh shared list by the meeting organizer, or the person that clicked the record button.
• For Channel meetings, permissions will be inherited from the owners and members list in the channel. If block downloads is enabled, channel owners will have full rights on the recordings in this folder, but channel members will have read access without ability to download.

Privacy

When a meeting recording starts, Teams shows a notification to all participants on the Teams desktop, web, and mobile apps, as well as to people who joined via phone. In some places, you legally need to get everyone's permission before you can record them. Make sure you know the rules before you start a recording.

Troubleshooting Recordings

If you're having problems recording a meeting, you'll probably need the help from IT Services to work through them. Keep these things in mind as you move forward:

• Both the meeting organizer, and the recorder must be a student, staff, or faculty of the University of Alaska.
• Guests or federated users can't record meetings or calls.
