Microsoft Teams: Record and Transcribe a Meeting
In Microsoft Teams, when we start a recording of a meeting, it will also automatically start a transcript of the meeting. This can be useful for reviewing later.
Tip: We do not need to record a meeting if we just want a transcript. Transcripts can be created without recording, but are automatically created if we do record. To just start the Transcript, follow the steps below. On Step two, just select Start transcription rather than Start recording.
