How to Enable ‘Record Automatically’ by Default for All Teams Meetings?
Hello Teams Community, I'm seeking information about administrator controls for meeting recordings in Microsoft Teams. Specifically, I want to know: Is there a way for a Microsoft Teams admin to configure the default 'Record automatically' setting for new meetings, so that it is turned on by default, without requiring users to navigate through custom meeting templates? Current Situation: Our organization requires most meetings to be recorded for compliance and documentation purposes Currently, users must manually start recording or remember to enable the "Record automatically" option when scheduling each meeting We're aware that meeting templates can include this setting, but this requires additional steps from our users What We're Looking For: A tenant-wide or admin-level setting to make "Record automatically" the default for all new meetings The ability to apply this setting without users having to select specific meeting templates Ideally, a solution that works when meetings are created from various entry points (Outlook, Teams calendar, etc.) Solutions Already Explored: Custom meeting templates with "Record automatically" enabled (not ideal as it adds steps for users) Meeting policies (haven't found options specific to default recording settings) Has anyone successfully implemented such a configuration, or is this capability currently unavailable in Teams? Any insights from Teams administrators or Microsoft representatives would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
Identifying the Presenter Who Muted or Removed Participants in a Meeting
Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to identify which presenter muted or removed participants during a Microsoft Teams meeting. Is there a way to access this information through meeting recordings, logs, or any other available tools within Teams? Thank you for your guidance on this matter!Identifying the Presenter Who Removed a Guest in a Meeting Recording
Hi , I would like to know if it is possible to identify which presenter removed a guest from a Microsoft Teams meeting by reviewing the meeting recording or any associated logs. Does the platform record such actions, and if so, where can this information be accessed? Thank you for your assistance!Teams Splits Recording and Transcription Settings for Meetings and Events
Microsoft plans some big changes for Teams recording and transcription policies in February 2025. Events like webinars and town halls get separate controls for recording and transcription through the Teams event policy. By default, meeting transcription is enabled to generate transcripts for more meetings (and make transcripts available to Copilot). In addition, face and voice profile enrollment is enabled by default (important if you have Teams Rooms devices). https://office365itpros.com/2025/01/08/teams-recording-and-transcription/
SOLUTION: Missing Teams Video Recordings!!
It took some digging, but for those of you who are unable to find your Teams Meeting videos in your Stream (where they have been stored previously), it turns out that MS is phasing in a process of those videos now being stored in either your One Drive for Business or your Sharepoint. This started happening at the beginning of the year. I'm sure your IT department was alerted, but you may not have gotten the memo. If you're looking for your video, check your Teams chat log. There may be a listing titled the same as the name of your meeting. The video is there! So your videos aren't lost... they're just stored in a new place. Here's where I found the answer: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/tmr-meeting-recording-change
Teams Meeting recordings not accessible to invitees
Teams meeting recordings (OneDrive) for scheduled meetings are not being shared to all invited. Instead, the file is only being shared to people who attended the meeting. I've tested this a few times and gone through the lists to verify that the people that did not attend the meeting do not have access. If this is by design, this is a significant oversight by Microsoft. Previously in Stream, the recording was shared to everyone in the invite. Now with the move to OneDrive, this means going through the attendee list and comparing to who was invited, then manually going to the OneDrive recording, modifying the sharing, and adding each of the people that did not attend the meeting. Most meeting recordings in our organization are needed for the people who missed the meeting, and by default they cannot access. What a pain for any meeting larger than a few people! Microsoft's documentation does not match the behavior: "People invited to the meeting, except external users, will automatically be granted permission to the recording file with view access without ability to download." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/cloud-recording Please tell me there's a powershell setting for this somewhere...
Blocking Download Access to Teams Channel Meeting Recordings
Our review of the Videos chapter for the Office 365 for IT Pros eBook found a Teams meeting policy setting we hadn’t documented to block downloads for channel meeting recordings. Naturally, this was a disaster, so we spent some time investigating what the policy setting does and if it’s useful in practice. It works, but do you want to block downloads of channel meeting recordings? https://office365itpros.com/2024/06/13/channel-meeting-recordings/Stream video existence status - recorder leaves company
I have two questions: 1. If a person leaves the company, will stream video (set as no expiration) removed automatically? 2. If a person leaves the company, will a copy (not original video) of a stream video removed? We have a habit of keeping videos in one consolidated area with custom label that is understood by team members.
