Transcription and Recording buttons confusion
I just had a call with a user who thought he had recorded his meeting. He had clicked (he thought) the start recording button, and he saw the purple banner (but didn't read it) and the red dot and go...
Hello, you can always add that feedback from within Teams or go directly to Teams UserVoice. Recently they introduced some features I would like to highlight.

You can also put the meeting option toggle to auto-record the meeting when it starts.
So reach out to your IT admin to get the former verified and for the latter see the below support page

- Thank you. We do not want to automate recordings globally at my company for a variety of reasons (risk management). I will submit this via uservoice - it is my understanding that is being deprecated so I tried here. My feedback is focused on the fact that the record and transcribe buttons are next to each other with no icon that makes them visually distinct, and the user experience is identical, which can deepen the confusion/potential for error.
