MS Teams Recording

Question

Dear Experts,

Could you please guide me with a solution to have ondemand recording. What i know about MS Teams recording is that if the policy is enabled then by default all the calls on that Azure ID (part of recording policy) would be recorded.

We are actually looking for a solution where in the staff decides which call to be recorded rather then all call being recorded by default.

Thank You

Hello @Sumeet Mukherjee

Turning on settings to record does not automatically cause everything to be recorded. There are two ways to initiate a recording:

1) The user initiates the recording when setting up the teams meeting (https://modernworkmentor.com/blog/how-do-automatic-recordings-work-for-microsoft-teams-meetings#:\~:text=Meeting%20organisers%20set%20the%20meeting,Then%20turn%20on%20Record%20automatically.)

2) The user initiates the recording in the MS Teams app:

Prerequisites for Teams cloud meeting recording

• User has sufficient storage in OneDrive for Business for non-channel meeting recordings to be saved.
• The Teams' channel has sufficient storage in SharePoint Online for channel meeting recordings to be saved.
• User has CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -AllowCloudRecording setting set to true in order to record meetings and group calls.
• User has CsTeamsCallingPolicy -AllowCloudRecordingForCalls setting set to true in order to record 1:1 calls.
• User is not an anonymous, Guest, or federated user in the meeting.
• To enable transcription for a user's meeting, the Teams meeting policy they are assigned to must have the -AllowTranscription setting set to true.
• To enable channel meeting recordings to be saved so channel members can't edit or download the recordings the CSTeamsMeetingPolicy -ChannelRecordingDownload setting must be set to Block.
• For more information please see the documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/cloud-recording
