What can I auto record?

Hi all,

I need to enable automatic recording for all Teams call and meetings, is this possible? I have seen conflicting info on the recording of calls/meetings/events.

I just need it all recording.

Any tips would be great, thanks.
  • Matt Cox Hello, sorry for the late reply. It seems as if your own understanding is correct about the policy-based recording and third-party.

     

    Can't say what happened to the info I saw before about an eventual meeting option. There's nothing in Message center and nothing in the roadmap either. Could it be a privacy thing perhaps as you at some places legally need to get everyone's permission before you can record them? But that goes for the former option as well so I haven't go a clue to be honest.

     

    There are plenty UV requests though! This is the one with most votes Automatic recording meetings – Microsoft Teams UserVoice

     

    And just to put it out there, you are aware of the policy settings which control who can actually press the record button in a meeting/call?

     

    • User has CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -AllowCloudRecording setting set to true in order to record meetings and group calls
    • User has CsTeamsCallingPolicy -AllowCloudRecordingForCalls setting set to true in order to record 1:1 calls

      Thanks ChristianBergstrom 

      I have had a read and it appears to be saying I cannot enable mandatory recording at a tenant level for all users without the use of an external recording bot.  Can anyone confirm I am correct on this?

       

      It seems strange that the button to record calls and meetings is available for the end user but cant b e stipulated by admin!?

        Compliance recording is a solution for organisations that have a legal requirement to retain conversations. Microsoft provide an interface that allows third parties like Verint, Smarsh etc. to retrieve a recording of all calls and meetings for designated users. It would be nice for Microsoft to have this kind of call retention system, but they don't, and I think the logic is that most customers with this requirements will already have a preferred platform.

         

        Teams recording is something for the owner of a meeting, they are stored in that users OneDrive or the Team (for channel meetings). It wouldn't be appropriate for retention, as it's not stored somewhere more useful.
