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

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.

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.
