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!
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.
- You 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.
- ChrisWebbTech I have done this previously with success, but I tried again recently, and although I can't see the thumbnail image of myself when I'm recording, it shows up on the final video. How do I get that not to show?
- I wasn't sure which calendar App (since I have Calendar Bot, Calendar Pro, Group Calendar...), I couldn't find the option "Meet Now", just "Meet'.... so I think I will just open a new team with not inviting anyone, where I can meet alone, record and later download...
