New Audio-Only Recording Option for Teams Meetings
A new audio-only recording option for Teams meeting suppresses the video feed from meeting participants to generate the MP4 file for the meeting recording. The idea is to better preserve user privacy during recording playbacks. Few will miss the video stream because the audio is usually more important. The audio is also the basis for the meeting transcript, and that leads to AI-generated outputs like meetings summaries and action items.

While I agree with the premise that few care about seeing colleagues faces on video in the recording, the thing that most people are looking at the recording for is the slides and shared screen content that's not included in audo-only recordings.
Fair point. But you'd hope that content shared during a meeting would be available in OneDrive...
