Record your meetings in Teams to capture audio, video, and screen sharing activity. The recording happens in the cloud, and is saved to Microsoft Stream, so you can share it securely across your organization.
Note: Whiteboards and shared notes are not currently captured in meeting recordings.
You can record meetings and group calls, but recording one-on-one calls isn't supported yet.

Who can start or stop a recording?
Record a meeting or a group call
-
Start or join the meeting.
-
To start recording, go to the meeting controls and select More options > Start recording.
Everyone in the meeting is notified that recording has started.
The meeting notification is also posted to the chat history.
Notes:
-
You can't make multiple recordings of the same meeting at the same time. If one person starts recording a meeting, that recording will be stored on the cloud and available to all participants.
-
Once recording has begun, it must be stopped before it can be started again.
-
Likewise, you can't pause a recording. You're either recording or not.
-
-
To stop recording, go to the meeting controls and select More options > Stop recording.
Note: You don't have to be the person who started the recording to stop it. See Who can start or stop a recording?
-
The recording is then processed (which could take awhile) and saved to Microsoft Stream, and then it's ready to play.
-
The person who started the recording receives an email from Microsoft Stream when the recording is available. It also shows up in the meeting chat—or in the channel, if you’re meeting in a channel.
-
Who can start or stop a recording?
Anyone who meets the following criteria can start or stop a recording, even if the meeting organizer isn't present.
-
Has an Office 365 Enterprise E1, E3, or E5 license.

Privacy
When a meeting recording starts, Teams shows a notification to all participants on the Teams desktop, web, and mobile apps, as well as to people who joined via phone.
In some places, you legally need to get everyone's permission before you can record them. Make sure you know the rules before you start.
For more information, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
Troubleshoot recordings
If you're having problems recording a meeting, you'll probably need the help of an IT admin to work through them. Keep these things in mind as you move forward:
-
Both the meeting organizer and the recorder must have Office 365 Enterprise E1, E3, or E5 licenses.
-
An IT admin must provide a recording license to both the meeting organizer and the recorder.
-
Guests or federated users can't record meetings or calls.
