How to record a Microsoft Teams meeting

Record any Teams call from your browser, without an admin-enabled recording policy, without being the organizer, and without a third-party notetaker bot.

Add to Chrome, free Jump to steps

Microsoft Teams' native recording is controlled by your tenant's admin policy. If your admin has disabled it, or if you're a guest who isn't allowed to record, you're out of options inside Teams itself. RecordMeeting works around this by capturing the call from your browser via the Chrome extension, independent of Teams' policies.

Steps

  1. 1

    Install the RecordMeeting extension

    Install the RecordMeeting Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store. Sign in with your Google account when prompted. It's free to start and no credit card is required.

  2. 2

    Open the Teams meeting in your browser

    Click the Teams invite and choose "Continue on this browser" instead of opening the desktop client. RecordMeeting works inside the Teams web app.

  3. 3

    Click record

    Click the RecordMeeting button in the meeting controls to start. No bot is added to the participant list, and Teams' admin policy doesn't block the recording because it's running in your browser, not on Teams' servers.

  4. 4

    Leave the call to finalise

    When you exit the meeting, the recording uploads automatically. Within a few minutes you'll have an MP4 video, transcript, and AI summary in your workspace.

  5. 5

    Share or export

    Send the link to your team, download the recording as MP4, audio, or transcript, or push the summary to your notes.

Good to know

Recording when your admin has disabled it

Tenant admins can disable native Teams recording globally, or restrict it to organizers only. RecordMeeting captures the call from your browser, so the tenant policy does not apply. This is intended for personal note-taking; check your organisation's data-handling and AUP rules before recording internal meetings.

Frequently asked questions

My admin has disabled recording in Teams. Will RecordMeeting still work?
Yes. Teams' admin recording policy applies to Teams' own recording feature. RecordMeeting captures the call from your browser tab, so the tenant policy does not block it. Be sure to check your organisation's acceptable-use policies before recording internal calls.

Does RecordMeeting work with Teams Live Events or webinars?
Yes, as long as you're attending in the browser. The same Chrome extension works regardless of the Teams meeting type.

Will the meeting organizer see I'm recording?
Teams shows a recording indicator only when its native recording is active. RecordMeeting captures from your browser; we recommend disclosing the recording verbally to participants.

Where do recordings get stored?
In your private RecordMeeting workspace at recordmeeting.com, not in your Microsoft 365 tenant. You decide if and when to share them.
