Download Audio Recording Only

Hello, after a Microsoft Teams meeting, we want to download the audio recording only, not the video recording. The video recordings are too large in file size. Your competitor Zoom provides the option to download the video recording or audio only.

    It’s of course rather easy to separate the audio after download, but requires the larger download and the time 😕

    I've found the solution guys!! I've been trawling these forums for a year now.

     

    Teams has an built in function but very well hidden. 

     

    You still record the meeting (video and all) as usual. It will be saved in your OneDrive under "Recordings". when you open it you can choose to edit it, it will take you to the editing platform Microsoft Clipchamp. Give it time to load (my recording was 1.5hours). Once loaded, select the entire clip, and there is an option on the top right to "Detach Audio".

     

    I clicked it and 2 mins later a mp3 audio file, same name as original, appeared in my OneDrive. I've checked it, all audio, no video. 

     

    You're welcome!

    Agreed this would be a helpful feature, especially for longer meetings.

      I don't understand how this is still not a feature. Surely they would save a ton of money for organizations who don't need to waste all space and time and bandwidth dealing with video and audio. It's a win-win Microsoft... you already let us record audio and video and screen sharing, why not audio only?

      ThereseSolimenoThe link you provided has nothing to do with the request made by @annasidat I too  have the same request.  To download/extract the audio only from a recorded Teams meeting to listen to later.
