Graph API - Meeting Recording and Transcript

Question

Hi,

In MS Teams, I have a meeting with a recording and transcription. I can see that the recording is saved in OneDrive/SharePoint under My Files/Recording/<recording filename>.mp4.

In OneDrive/SharePoint, using a web browser, when I click on the recording mp4, it loads on a player and I can see that there is an option to enable the caption/subtitle (which is actually the transcription).

However, when I access it via graph API (/me/drive/items/{item_id}), the caption/transcription doesn't seem to be embedded in the actual mp4 file. My questions are as follows:

1. Is there a way to access the transcription via graph API?
2. Both properties @microsoft.graph.downloadUrl and webUrl points to the actual file. Is there a way to programmatically get the player link/URL to play the recording mp4 with the option to show the caption/transcription (similar to how it is being played when accessed via browser in OneDrive/SharePoint)?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Currently Teams does not have any API to access the the transcription. Could you please Raise a user voice?

Answer 2

Microsoft Graph recently released a new API to /beta that allows authorized 3P apps to retrieve a meeting's transcripts (after the meeting is over): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/graph-api/meeting-transcripts/overview-transcripts

Please try the API and give us feedback. Thank you!

Please let us know if there is any alternative way to record call and get it back

Answer 4

Hello,

I would also like to know about this.

We are currently trying to allow our clients to integrate with Teams, but we need a way to retrieve the audio / video and transcript when a meeting has ended. We will use this to generate some notes for our clients.

Thanks
