Turning off incoming video - screen recording
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone can help, I want to be able to record a meeting and turn off the incoming video but when I finish the recording and view it in Microsoft Stream ,the incoming video of users is visible, is there a way I can stop it coming through without getting the user to turn off their camera pre-meeting.
Please help!
There is currently not a way to turn off video in a recording. The Stream recording will capture a Microsoft Teams Meeting or a Teams Channel Meeting as-is as if you were there live. If you are looking for more control over what is displayed and when (video, content, etc.) you would need to schedule a Live Event. In a live event, you will not have the 2-way voice to interact so your attendees would ask questions and communicate over text only. Typically a live event is for a more structured meeting scenario and therefore the recording is too.
If you're looking for the Teams meeting interaction but want to control (or lock) video on a single presenter for the meeting and/or the recording, that is a good idea and something that has been brought up in UserVoice. If you'd like to vote on that idea, I urge you to do so. I believe this ask here is what you are looking to do, also. https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/36017230-video-meeting-option-for-locking-screen-for-video
