Recording meetings turns your real-time conversations into reusable resources you can revisit any time, and it makes it easy to share recordings with participants who missed them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In today&#8217;s post, we will walk you through two effective ways to record Teams meetings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"head0\">\r\n<h2>How to record a Teams meeting<\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can record Teams meetings using either of these two options. Choose the one that suits your requirements.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Record meetings in Teams using the built-in recorder<\/li>\r\n<li>Record meetings in Teams using Vmaker<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It is worth noting that the first option comes with limitations. You need to be the host and have specific licenses and approvals. Here is what you typically need to record a Teams meeting with the built-in recorder:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>An eligible Microsoft 365 license (the specific eligible plans are set by Microsoft and can change, so check your plan details)<\/li>\r\n<li>Permission from your IT admin<\/li>\r\n<li>To be the meeting organiser, in most configurations, to start the recording<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you are a guest, or you do not have the necessary licenses or approvals, you can still get the job done with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmaker.com\/screen-recorder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">screen recorder<\/a> as explained below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>A note on consent:<\/strong> Before we get into how to record Teams meetings, it is important to note that recording without the consent of all participants is not ethical, and in some places (such as California) it is illegal to record a person without their permission. We strongly recommend you inform all participants and get their agreement before you start recording.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/accounts.animaker.com\/register\/vmaker\/?trackId=vm1ha2vyiejsb2cgu2lnbnvwienuqq\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/start-recording-your-Teams-meetings.jpg\" alt=\"Record a Microsoft Teams meeting\" style=\"max-width: 100%; padding-top:25px;padding-bottom:25px;\" \/><\/center><\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"head1\">\r\n<h2>1.
