<\/p>\nIf you\u2019ve ever been annoyed by the fact that every time you start a new meeting with Microsoft Teams, you have to manually enable the program to record the meeting for later use, you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n
A quick Google search will show you that this question \u2014 and the frustration that goes along with it \u2014is all over the Internet. Moreover, with Microsoft Teams being used more now than ever before because of COVID-19, the issue has become even more pressing.<\/p>\n
The truth is most people who use Microsoft Teams want to be able to automatically record their meetings, and why wouldn\u2019t they? Recorded meetings can be used for follow-up studying when teaching virtual classes, and they\u2019re often needed for legal reasons in order to ensure industry compliance. Plus, some people just like to have their recorded meetings on file in case they need to go back and revisit a topic or concern that was already discussed.<\/p>\n
So, let\u2019s get to the question at hand: Can you automatically record Microsoft Teams meetings?<\/p>\n
Well, you\u2019re probably not going to like the answer we have for you.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking for a way to automatically record Microsoft Teams meetings, you are unfortunately out of luck. Alternatively, you\u2019re simply going to have to wait because this feature doesn\u2019t currently exist.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is a question we can\u2019t quite answer, but if you do ever find out the reason why Microsoft Teams has not allowed users to automatically record meetings, please let us know.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, you\u2019ll have to ask Microsoft and their engineers about it.<\/p>\n
Naturally, the fact that you can\u2019t automatically record Microsoft Teams meetings is a problem for many people. Even though recording is still an option if you do it manually, it\u2019s easy to forget to set this feature up before starting the meeting. When this happens, you\u2019re completely out of luck. Indeed, there\u2019s no way to go back in time and record a meeting that\u2019s already happened.<\/p>\n
The Internet at large is frustrated with this. Any company or individual user who uses Microsoft Teams on a regular basis has probably wondered about this feature. Many of these individuals and employees have voiced their concerns on Reddit and Microsoft Teams forums. You can find lengthy back-and-forths between everyone from tech experts and software engineers, to professionals and laypeople \u2014 all trying to figure out the best way to code in this feature or use a third-party program that will enable the automatic recording.<\/p>\n
For many, the only alternative is to use a different video conferencing program like Zoom.<\/p>\n
Zoom came on the scene relatively quickly after COVID-19 caused basically everyone to start working and video conferencing from home. Many people like its easy-to-use interface and modern features \u2014 one of which is the ability to automatically record meetings.<\/p>\n
You can go into the settings on Zoom and predestine all video conferences, meetings, classes, and sessions to be recorded. Alternatively, you can choose only certain types of meetings, conferences, etc. to be recorded.<\/p>\n
