Turn on transcription and video recording for all meetings automatically in Microsoft Teams

Abdul Haadi 36

Hi!

We want to turn on transcription and video recording for all the meetings that are happening within an organization / tenant.
Is it possible to enable / disable such setting for an organization through an administrator account / settings?

Also can the following be done through Graph API

1-Turn on transcription of a specific meeting
2-Turn on video recording of a specific meeting
3-Turn on transcription for all the meetings of an organization
4-Turn on video recording for all the meetings of an organization

Hi @AbdulHadi-9960

Is it possible to enable / disable such setting for an organization through an administrator account / settings?

Based on my research, you could set the recording automatically in your meeting options like the following picture:

Meanwhile, considering your question is also related to the Teams api, I will also add teams-app-dev tag to your thread. Some experts who focus on this tag will give you more insights about this question.

Hi @JimmyYang-MSFT ,

This setting seems like this is for a single meeting. We want to enable such setting for the whole organization.
We need it enabled for all the meetings of the organization automatically.

Can we start the transcription recording in a similar way as-well?

@JimmyYang-MSFT I tested the above given option, upon setting this true, the meeting is being recorded automatically.

But its still not auto starting the transcription, is this due to some kind of administrative settings?

Can you let me know whats the possible solution so that both recording and transcription auto starts upon enabling this option.

@Abdul Haadi - We cannot automatically start both recording and transcription. You can manually start the transcription in meeting.

@AbdulHadi-9960
You can use your Microsoft Teams Admin Centre to control your Teams policies when it comes to transcriptions and recording. In the Teams Admin Centre, go to the settings for Audio and Video, and click the button to turn Allow Transcription off or on.

There is no graph API available for enabling transcription and video recording for meetings.

We cannot Automatically Start Transcription and Recording for all the meetings of a Team / Organization through some administration setting.

Could you please raise an user voice here:

Hi @Nivedipa-MSFT

Thanks for the fast response. By the above image i can see that we can Allow Transcription / Recording from the following settings.

But what we need is to Automatically Start Transcription and Recording for all the meetings of a Team / Organization.

Can you let me know if that is possible through some administration setting?

Hi @AbdulHadi-9960

The above settings will turn on the live transcription and recording feature in your Teams meeting, but there is no such setting for Teams admin to control all Teams meeting to record automatically.

To achieve your requirements, we recommend you give your feedback in Teams UserVoice. Microsoft will always focus on customer’s feedback and experience. Some new features would be added to the services based on customers' feedback in the future, and your good ideas will be very helpful for them to improve the service.

Your time, understanding and cooperation will be highly appreciated.
