Record any Teams meeting or call 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.
Notes:
-
Whiteboards and shared notes are not currently captured in meeting recordings.
-
When you view a meeting recording, you'll see no more than four peoples' video streams at once.

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.
