Welcome to the Microsoft Mechanics community!
Hello and welcome to Microsoft Mechanics on the Tech Community! If you haven't heard of Microsoft Mechanics, we are tech enthusiasts and former IT pros ourselves covering the latest announcements at Microsoft through video and our social channels. We like to go quite a bit deeper than the announcement blogs and meet the engineers and developers behind the tech to explain how things work, demonstrate user and admin experiences, and hopefully give you enough info to get started or try out whatever topic we're covering. Here on the Tech Community, we'll make sure we post all the announcements as we make them and answer your questions along the way. You'll also find us across the web on YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.

Amateur using MS Teams needs easy steps to transcribe an MP4 recording into editable text.
Hi; I have tried multiple ways, which until recently wasn't necessary; I waited until the MS Teams recording was ready; then I downloaded (it automatically downloads into an MP4 format), then I saved it and opened it in MS Notepad, which opened in American English. Now it opens in gibberish, and I can't use MS Word Transcribe because the recording is over 1 hour long. How can I do this as an amateur user? Thank you for your help; even AI isn't helping with this.
