Recording and Live Transcription for Teams Meetings

This article applies to: Microsoft Teams

On This Page

Before turning on recording or live transcription for a meeting, make sure to announce to attendees that you're about to do so and get their consent.

Record a Teams Meeting

Any Teams meeting or call can be recorded for future viewing. The recording captures audio, video, and screen sharing activity, and you can share it securely with others at Cornell. Recordings won't capture whiteboards, annotations, shared notes, or videos or animations embedded in PowerPoint Live presentations. When viewing a meeting recording, you'll see no more than four peoples' video streams at once.

For more information, see Microsoft's Record a meeting in Teams.

Use Live Transcription

To improve accessibility and provide better context after meetings for notes that were taken in the meeting, live transcription is available in Cornell Microsoft Teams.

During any Teams meeting, you can start a live transcription of the discussion. The text appears alongside the meeting video or audio in real time, including the speaker's name (unless they chose to omit it) and a time stamp.

In addition to better accessibility and support for notes, live transcription also is useful for attendees that have different levels of language proficiency and participants who are in noisy places. The feature is only available in the desktop version of Teams.
