Unable to retrieve transcripts using meetings API

Question

Hi Team,

We are trying to fetch transcript id from meeting id using "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/<UserID>/onlineMeetings/<MeetingID>/transcripts/" in response we see the following error

{

    "error": {

        "code": "Forbidden",

        "message": "Application is not allowed to perform operations on the user '******@pXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.onmicrosoft.com', neither is allowed access through RSC permission evaluation.",

        "innerError": {

            "date": "2025-03-26T06:52:38",

            "request-id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXb4",

            "client-request-id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

        }

    }

}

These are the permissions available in the app: OnlineMeetings.Read.All, OnlineMeetings.ReadWrite.All, OnlineMeetingArtifact.Read.All, OnlineMeetingTranscript.Read.All, OnlineMeetingRecording.Read.All, CallRecords.Read.All
And I have checked for the policies here --> https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/policies/meetings/ And I see there is already a policy has been assigned to my email. That policy has the 'Meeting recording' and 'Transcription' enabled like below:

Hi Mahesh,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft!

It seems like you are facing issues in retrieving transcripts using Meeting API. Please go through this documentation once
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/graph-api/meeting-transcripts/overview-transcripts#configure-permissions-on-microsoft-entra-id-to-access-transcript-and-recording

and check whether you have all permissions

Hope this helps.

Hello @Mahesh Kurucheti,

I understand you want to list transcripts using Microsoft Entra ID application then you need to create an Application Access Policy and grant the policy to the application so that it can read meeting details.

Initially, I got the same error:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/<UserID>/onlineMeetings/<MeetingID>/transcripts

Hence to resolve the issue, check the below:

Make sure to assign OnlineMeetingTranscript.Read.All Application type API permission:

Create application policy and grant the policy:

Login as Admin

Install-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams -Force -AllowClobber 

Import-Module MicrosoftTeams

Connect-MicrosoftTeams

New-CsApplicationAccessPolicy -Identity Ruk-policy -AppIds "MicrosoftEntraAppId" -Description "Allow access to Teams App"

Grant-CsApplicationAccessPolicy -PolicyName Ruk-policy -Global

Generated access token:

GET https://login.microsoftonline.com/TenantID/oauth2/v2.0/token

client_id: ClientID

client_secret: Secret

scope: https://graph.microsoft.com/.default

grant_type: client_credentials

I successfully listed the meeting transcripts:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/UserID/onlineMeetings/MeetingID/transcripts

I got empty response as I don't have any transcripts:
