How do I configure Teams to record all meetings by default?

[Neil_Benson]

Hello, a Teams user can configure meeting options so that the meeting will be recorded as soon as it starts, or they can click Record when the meeting starts. But both of these rely on users remembering to record the meeting.

I would like to configure the default so that all my meetings are recorded. Is this possible?

I have checked my personal Teams options and as global admin I have also checked the Teams Admin Center but I can't find any option to record all meetings by default.

Is it possible in Microsoft Teams like it is in Zoom?

Thanks Peter. From the documentation you linked to, it seems like Microsoft customers need a third-party partner solution or to purchase Teams Premium licenses to enable automatic recording.

Hi Neil

I use Teams for coaching in my 1-person business. Your website has no pricing, and I need to book a call with a sales rep. That sounds like an enterprise sales motion and not something I want to get into.

@Neil_Benson price is only around $11 per user per month but the minimum license is 10.

Yes that is true and from my perspective I would recommend upgrading to teams premium as it has a lot more features that could be useful now and into the future.

Thanks. I've enrolled in a trial Teams Premium subscription. Hopefully, automatic meeting recording and the AI meeting notes and summary prove worthwhile.

Hi there,

I am running an event for National Interview Week in the UK. Where we have created 5000 mentoring sessions for students, with 500 mentors across 100 schools in the UK. We used power automate to book in the meetings as booking in 5000 individual meetings would have taken weeks. However, there was no option through Microsoft PowerAutomate to click the "auto record this meeting" button. The students are 14-16 year olds so we need recordings from a compliance and legal standpoint. We have created 100 teams users, each user being a separate school.

The question I have is, is there a way to make each meeting auto record across the board for the organisation and each user account within it, or, do we need to go into each individual one and enable it?

@KellyNorrington unfortunately, I was never able to find a way to automatically record Teams meetings, even with the Teams Premium license.

The options included configuring the recoding to start when you create the meeting (requires you to remember to do this when you create the meeting and is not possible through tools like Power Automate or Calendly) or to record the meeting when the meeting starts (again, relies on memory).

I tried Teams Premium options such as templates, but even with help from Microsoft Support, meetings did not automatically record.

You might need to get some professional help from a Microsoft partner who specialises in Teams.

It's infuriating, as it says it here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/microsoftteams/settings-policies-reference?WT.mc_id=TeamsAdminCent...

But when you try to use that, we have a 365 business license. It just say's "you need a premium sub" and doesn't load. I've spoken at 5 forums, some who've said use Azure, then Sharepoint, then some specific Microsoft compliance and regulatory app.

It makes no sense to me that they don't have an option to automatically record meetings, especially for compliance and risk reasons. The last forum asked me to reach out to the education side of Microsoft, if I find an answer I'll revert back

To record automatically for compliance reasons you need something like this.
