Teams Premium + Bookings : Automatic recording and transcription for Bookings meetings ?

Your conclusion is correct for Bookings: admin policies permit recording and transcription but do not force the Record and transcribe automatically meeting option, and Bookings exposes no template selector. The screenshot shows organizer-scheduled Teams templates. A custom Microsoft Graph workaround is possible. After a Bookings appointment is created, read its joinWebUrl, retrieve the organizer’s onlineMeeting by filtering on that URL, then PATCH recordAutomatically and allowTranscription to true. For unattended processing, use OnlineMeetings.ReadWrite.All plus an application access policy, and pilot this because the organizer’s meeting must be discoverable through onlineMeetings. Graph cannot apply meetingTemplateId to an existing meeting because that property is not updateable. Power Automate would therefore need an authenticated Graph call rather than a normal Bookings action. Microsoft currently publishes no committed roadmap for direct template assignment. Submit this gap through Teams feedback and your Microsoft support channel, and test recap generation before expanding the automation.
