Recording a Teams Meeting - How to select which screen 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.
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).
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
Yes, this is possible and very easy with the Evaer recording software. It allows you to select both videos or one, and you can isolate the audio recording to just one, if desired.
For example, I am interviewing people and I only want their video (either their face or screen share) and their audio on the finished MP4 file.
Or I can record any combination.
GreatNo I tried that, but I still get a strip of students' pictures on the bottom of the screen, plus I get audio of participants.
I need an option where the ONLY thing recorded is what I'm presenting and with just MY audio.
MrTymm There's not a Teams option to do that in a regular meeting currently, maybe it will come with the new Spotlight feature that's on the roadmap.
I would suggest using some other software on your laptop to create the recording locally, rather than meeting recording. I use OBS which is excellent, but there are lots of other screen recording apps.
StevenC365 Thanks! I figured as much. Hopefully, you're right and MS will roll out that feature soon, as it is desperately needed by teachers who need to make lessons available asynchronously (for their students who can't attend during normal times).
I do have OBS, so I'll see about setting that up to record my lessons in the interim.
