Do people in lobby trigger the auto-record?

Question

We have instructors setting up recurring meetings with the settings set to place everyone in the lobby and to start recording automatically. They are finding that the recordings are being saved as students as the owners. So my question is does entering the lobby trigger the start of a recording it auto-record is on?

Hi @Doucet, Kris (NBCC)

So my question is does entering the lobby trigger the start of a recording it auto-record is on?

If there is nobody in Teams meeting, it will not trigger the auto-recording. I did a test in our environment and found if there is only people in lobby, it will not trigger the recording unless someone enter the meeting. Then the recording can be started automatically.
