Microsoft Teams is a popular collaboration tool that allows users to communicate and collaborate with each other. One of the features of Microsoft Teams is the ability to record meetings, which can be useful for reviewing later or sharing with others who were unable to attend. However, by default, the start recording option is not enabled in Microsoft Teams. In this article, we will explain how to enable the start recording option in Microsoft Teams.
Step 1: Open Microsoft Teams
To begin, open Microsoft Teams and log in with your account credentials. Once you are logged in, you should see a list of teams and channels on the left-hand side of the screen.
Step 2: Join or Create a Meeting
To enable the start recording option, you need to be in a meeting. If you are not already in a meeting, click on the “New Meeting” button in the top right-hand corner of the screen to create a new meeting. Alternatively, if you have an existing meeting that you want to join, click on the meeting name and select “Join Now”.
Step 3: Enable Start Recording Option
Once you are in a meeting, look for the three dots in the top right-hand corner of the screen. Click on them and select “Meeting Options” from the drop-down menu. This will take you to the meeting settings page. Scroll down until you see the “Recording” section. Check the box next to “Allow transcription” and then click on “Save”.
Step 4: Start Recording
Now that you have enabled the start recording option, you can begin recording your meeting. Look for the record button in the top right-hand corner of the screen. Click on it to start recording. You will see a notification at the top of the screen indicating that the meeting is being recorded.
Step 5: Stop Recording
When you are finished recording, click on the stop button in the top right-hand corner of the screen. The recording will be saved to your OneDrive account and can be accessed from there.
Conclusion
Enabling the start recording option in Microsoft Teams is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. By following these steps, you can ensure that your meetings are recorded and saved for future reference or sharing with others.
