Recording a Teams Meeting - How to select which screen is recorded?
- Mar 27, 2020
I believe I have figured out how to do this. Here is the process:
1. Start your meeting.
2. Share the screen that you want to record.
3. In teams, select "Start Recording".
4. Minimize the Teams app. When you do this, the app will be just a small window in the lower right of your screen (you can move the window around if you want).
As long as the Teams app is minimized then the shared screen will be recorded.
MrTymm There's not a Teams option to do that in a regular meeting currently, maybe it will come with the new Spotlight feature that's on the roadmap.
I would suggest using some other software on your laptop to create the recording locally, rather than meeting recording. I use OBS which is excellent, but there are lots of other screen recording apps.
StevenC365 Thanks! I figured as much. Hopefully, you're right and MS will roll out that feature soon, as it is desperately needed by teachers who need to make lessons available asynchronously (for their students who can't attend during normal times).
I do have OBS, so I'll see about setting that up to record my lessons in the interim.
