Teams Premium add-on: default policy
TomMucha1 While you ca't (currently) change the default meeting template, I'm pretty sure you can achieve what you want through assigning that user a default sensitivity label that then mandates recording. I've set up a test in my tenant to do this but it will take 24hrs to be able to validate.
I created a label that enforces recording like this
Then a labelling policy that is assigned to a specific user that mandates the use of that label
I'll let you know in the week how it works out ...

- Thanks Steven, I saw this as an option as well but that's a license on top of a license for the use case we're looking for. Client has an E3 level plan, so this would require a Teams Premium AND some kind of compliance licensing to get the sensitivity label. Lot of money just to enforce recordings so we might just suggest another meeting platform, was hoping to find something in Teams without making it cost a fortune.
TomTomMucha1 What's the requirement exactly? This feature isn't really forcing recording as opposed to defaulting recording being enabled.
If your client's requirement is to record meetings and calls for legal purposes then it's not the right tool, and you should use a certified compliance recording solution, there's a list at Introduction to Teams Policy-based Recording for Calling & Meetings - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn.
- Its a local town gov, they are using Teams Rooms for meetings and want the meetings to be recorded by default so they can upload to Youtube for the public. It's really to make sure someone doesn't forget to press Record each time or edit the meeting options.
