Recording a Teams Meeting - How to select which screen is recorded?
Hi,
I have found the meeting recording feature in Teams. When I have a meeting I often share a screen with some application that I am showing the other participants. I would like to record that screen rather than the teams app with the participants video streams. Is there a way to select which screen is recorded? Is there some other way I should be doing it so that the applicaton I am showing is recorded?
I believe I have figured out how to do this. Here is the process:
1. Start your meeting.
2. Share the screen that you want to record.
3. In teams, select "Start Recording".
4. Minimize the Teams app. When you do this, the app will be just a small window in the lower right of your screen (you can move the window around if you want).
As long as the Teams app is minimized then the shared screen will be recorded.

Hi GreatNo , There is a third-party software that can choose to record the specified video screen, it is called Evaer for Teams, please check the link below for details

This solution worked great for me and should be perfect for the person who started this string. Super easy, I purchased the affordable license and am using it regularly.

As a teacher, I need an easy option to record presentations that don't include students' images (for privacy purposes), so I can subsequently post the lesson onto a shared platform for students who were absent (or just need to review the lesson).
- TeacherMrE1986Copper ContributorHave you found a solution to this? I am going back online Monday and would like to do exactly as you have described.

Strangely enough, teams is now recording the screen where the noise / voice is coming from. It has a blue box around it now. I am not sure when this happened but the recording shows the screen I want. Hope that helps.

You should have no trouble if you follow these instructions:
1. Start your meeting.
2. Share the screen that you want to record.
3. In teams, select "Start Recording".
4. Minimize the Teams app. When you do this, the app will be just a small window in the lower right of your screen (you can move the window around if you want).
As long as the Teams app is minimized then the shared screen will be recorded.

Is it possible to record just one screen for the below scenario?
I remotely assess apprentices. The recording needs to just be of them and not my turned off camera as a split screen. Is this possible?
Thank you

When a meeting is recorded, can the presenter select specific participants' screens to be included (pinned) in the recording AND ALSO remove himself/herself from the recording? It appears that the recording automatically inserts the presenter's screen into the recording, even though the presenter's screen isn't pinned during the meeting. Thanks for clarifying.

I urgently need to find this out also. I need to record the meeting as full screen of the person I've pinned talking. At the moment- even though I am switching between speakers when I get the recording back it has recorded all four. Help?

GreatNo Will definitely try this. Very much needed to protect attendees privacy.
- Jen22Copper ContributorI wonder if you know if this also work when I am recording the meeting but someone else is sharing the screen? Will it record my screen or the presenter’s?
- No, the recording will record the entire meeting screen.

adam deltingerThanks for this reply, but from my experience it is not as straightforward as that:
I presented a meeting yesterday, recorded it from the start, presented mostly sharing my Main Screen (I have two) using PowerPoint which the team saw the whole time. BUT, when it came to seeing what was recorded, yes, ALL the audio was recorded (good) BUT some sort of secondary screen, with four tiles for me and a few other participants. This was not the screen I presented.
So, sorry, but this question still remains: How can someone select, specifically which screen they wish to be recorded ? Or, out another way, how can we be sure that the main presentation window is the one recorded ? AN urgent reply would be appreciated as I have another group meeting later today and this is a real issue for us in this current problematic "remote-working" world.
THANKS for any help !!
- agomassCopper ContributorSame here. Hope to find a solution soon since many of our meetings are being recorded due to the situation we are facing right now in EU. Many people cannot work at the office and need to see the recordings afterwards.
