I started the recording of an MS Teams meeting this morning, and I found (after 1:54h of recording time) that my screen sharing is not recorded at all! I can hear the participants' voices, but I can see only a static screen of the participants' names/pictures... Totally frustrating 😞
I have the same problem. Some of my recordings have worked, but my most recent two have failed in this way.
In another thread, people have some theories that the timing of when you start the screen share may make a difference. (Before/after starting recording.) But others are seeing random results.
I have previously tried using separate software (Echo360) to make the recording, but this puts too much strain on my tablet, and I see performance issues which can affect the inking and the audio.
I hope that this problem can be resolved soon, because when it works recording in Teams is very convenient!

The advice I have received locally is this:
"You need to start the recording before you start sharing your screen in MS Teams. you'll find this will work otherwise you just get your camera."
I'm going to try this, though in another thread people have said that the results are still random for them.

Joel_Feinstein - I did that - and still the recording only has the static pictures and voices.
No screen sharing.
