How To Save Microsoft Teams Meeting Session

I had a positive experience when utilizing Microsoft Teams for a virtual meeting. The meeting was highly productive with meaningful conversations and significant decisions made. Following the meeting, I recognized the need to preserve the session for future reference. The ability to save the Microsoft Teams meeting session is a beneficial feature that permits you to revisit the meeting material and review any overlooked details. In this article, I will provide instructions on how to save a Microsoft Teams meeting session.

Step 1: Start the Meeting

To save a Microsoft Teams meeting session, you first need to start the meeting. You can either create the meeting yourself or join an existing meeting initiated by someone else. Make sure you have all the necessary permissions to record and save the meeting session.

Step 2: Record the Meeting

Once the meeting has started, you can begin recording the session. To do this, click on the “More options” (three-dot) button located at the bottom of the meeting screen. From the menu that appears, select the “Start recording” option. You will see a notification on the screen indicating that the meeting is being recorded.

Step 3: Manage Recording Settings

While recording the meeting, you may want to manage the recording settings. For example, if you only want to record the main speaker’s video and audio, you can choose the “Record speaker only” option. This helps to focus on the main content and reduce unnecessary recordings of participants’ reactions or background noise.

Step 4: End the Meeting

Once the meeting has concluded, you can end the meeting session. To do this, click on the “End meeting” button located at the bottom of the meeting screen. A confirmation prompt will appear, asking if you want to end the meeting for everyone. Click “End” to confirm.

Step 5: Access the Recording

After the meeting has ended, you can access the recording of the meeting session. Microsoft Teams will automatically process and save the recording in the cloud. To find the recording, go to the channel or chat where the meeting was held. Look for the meeting in the chat history and click on the recording link to view or download it.

Step 6: Share the Recording

Once you have accessed the recording, you can share it with other participants or team members. You can either share the recording link directly or download the recording and share it via another platform, such as email or file-sharing services.

Conclusion

Saving a Microsoft Teams meeting session is a valuable feature that allows you to revisit important discussions and reference meeting content. By following these steps, you can easily record and save your meeting sessions. Remember to ensure you have the necessary permissions to record and save meetings. Utilizing this feature can enhance collaboration and productivity by providing a way to review and learn from past meetings.
