Is there a way to self record your screen using Microsoft Streams or Teams?
Our office computers are PC so we don't have the handy free and easy to use features to record how-to videos on our screen or edit them in a free easy to use editing software. Training and Developme...

Hi stephanieserblowski
Teams and Stream can help you do most of this.
1.) Set up a meeting in Teams
2.) Join the team, share the screen and record
3.) The video is recorded into Stream
4.) Use the guide below to share with users/team
https://microsoft365pro.co.uk/2019/07/13/teams-real-simple-with-pictures-setting-up-a-video-channel-for-the-team/
You can edit the length of the video's in Stream, and add Forms to them, but the editing features are not like a mature video editor like Camtasia. Stream is developing more editing capabilities and these are shown on the Microsoft 365 roadmap as coming out later this year

However, whether that is things like merging video, seperating layers, dubs etc remains to be seen.
However, Teams and Stream more than matches what you did previously in Skype for Business
Hope that answers your question!
Best, Chris

- JComputersApr 30, 2021Copper ContributorThank you for providing this answer! I tested in my O365 Teams Desktop client (since O365 Teams Web Version did not work) and was very pleased when I saw the export in OneDrive. I am unsure where Stream is located, but I was able to find "Video Editor" on my Windows 10 machine and am able to make basic edits that I need to make.

Hi,
I am new to teams, so I apologize if my question seems trivial. In step 2, how do i "join the team"? I don't think I am on or have any teams. ChrisHoardMVP

CarlitaLopez I believe step 2 noted above is referring to joining a Teams Meeting, which you join through the Meeting link (shared by the meeting organizer, commonly embedded in the calendar invite if it is a scheduled meeting). Meetings in Teams can be recorded and the recording is uploaded to Stream.
Joining Teams sites is different from joining Teams Meetings, and how to access can vary depending on how Teams sites (or O365 groups) have been setup within your org. Public Teams sites are usually searchable, so users can go through the steps to find and join a Team; users can join a public Team without an owner granting them access. Private Teams sites are restricted to specific group of users, so typically either an owner of the Teams site manages the access, adding/removing members and promoting members to owners, or a user can request access to the Team after finding it from search or with a link to the general channel of the Team site.

Thank you! I've been poking around a bit and I think I've got! I appreciate the feedback! Cheria_Coram

CarlitaLopezIt is probably your admin who will make the teams and add you to it.
Once your in a team, you can use all the possibilities mentioned above.

ChrisHoardMVP thanks, I have created videos and channels in steams by creating a Teams meeting and recording it. The trouble I run into is I can't seem to figure out how to record if the employee is not in a meeting with someone else, what if they are wanting to record a how-to tutorial sharing their screen alone? They were able to do this in Skype for Business but can't figure it out with the new Teams set up. It seems we can only record if a meeting is booked with someone else.
That's really exciting that it's on the roadmap to bring some video editing features into Microsoft steams, the types of features we are looking for are simple really easy to use ones. Thanks so much for sharing!
- daleaceronMay 09, 2020Copper ContributorIf you’re wondering how to record without anyone else in the meeting, simply go to your calendar in Teams and click Meet Now. Once the meeting has started, record the meeting. Once complete, end recording and it will be published to Stream.
- Pheel_Apr 18, 2020Copper Contributor
stephanieserblowski You could just send yourself an invite via Team and start the session and record yourself, tried and tested. To record your screen the feature is within Powerpoint/ Insert/Screen recording. On the Mac this option is not available, you will need to use Quick Time screen recording. Just confirming the amount help.
- Apr 18, 2020You can just have a meeting by yourself and record. Do not schedule it, just go to Calendar app on the left then click "Meet Now" in the top right. You go right into a meeting where you can start recording / stop recording and it'll save to stream for download etc.
