Manage Teams meeting auto recording

You can control whether organizers have access to the Record and transcribe automatically setting in meeting options, webinars, and town halls. You can only apply this policy setting to users and groups.

When you turn on the auto recording policy for an organizer, the meeting option for Record and transcribe automatically is Off by default. Organizers must manually enable Record and transcribe automatically setting for each meeting they want recorded and transcribed automatically. If you turn off auto recording, organizers don't see Record and transcribe automatically in meeting options and can’t set meetings to record automatically.

For webinars and town halls, the setting is On by default.

Note

This setting doesn't apply to transcripts.

You must use PowerShell or a meeting template to manage this setting for organizers.

To manage this setting with meeting templates, see IT admins - Create a custom meeting template in Microsoft Teams. Only organizers with a Teams Premium license can use assigned meeting templates. If you prefer to prevent the organizers from changing your settings, you can lock the value you selected. Once the template is activated, users see it when scheduling meetings. If they choose to use this template, recording and transcription starts automatically without any user interaction.

To manage this setting using PowerShell, use the -AutoRecording parameter in Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy. For details, see the PowerShell section in this article.
