Hi,

I have tried multiple options for storing teams transcript file automatically in the onedrive but I cannot do it. I have used onedrive folder to get recordings of previously saved meetings and extract transcript which is available in .docx and .vtt format but I am unable to do so.

Can I get a workaround it?

Hi there Adeen K.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having saving your transcripts to OneDrive.

To address the issue of automatically storing Microsoft Teams transcripts in OneDrive, it's important to understand the typical flow and limitations within Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and the Microsoft ecosystem. Here are some points and potential workarounds that may help:

When a meeting is recorded in Microsoft Teams, the recording is usually saved to the meeting organizer's OneDrive or SharePoint depending on the meeting type (private or channel). However, transcripts might not be saved automatically in OneDrive or SharePoint unless explicitly set up.

Transcripts generated during a Teams meeting can be downloaded manually by the user. These transcripts are usually in .vtt (WebVTT) or .docx formats.

Manual Process: After a meeting, download the transcript manually from the Teams chat or meeting details and then upload it to a designated OneDrive folder.

Automation Using Power Automate

You can create a flow in Power Automate to automate the process of saving transcripts. Here's a simplified version of how this can be done: Set a trigger based on the creation of new files in the default storage location (like SharePoint or OneDrive where recordings and transcripts are initially saved). Actions: Use actions to move or copy these files to a specific OneDrive folder.

Integration with Microsoft Graph API

For a more integrated solution, consider using the Microsoft Graph API. This approach involves setting up an application that can access Teams data and OneDrive.

Set up permissions in Azure AD to allow the application to access Teams and OneDrive data. Use scripts to fetch transcripts and store them in OneDrive automatically.

Ensure that the Teams policies in your organization allow for transcript creation and downloading. Sometimes, the ability to download transcripts might be restricted by organizational settings. Check if there are any restrictions on file types or automated uploads in your OneDrive settings.

I hope this helps.
