Microsoft Teams' built-in transcription depends on your Microsoft 365 license tier and your tenant's policy. RecordMeeting transcribes any Teams call you record with the Chrome extension, automatically, in 50+ languages, with speaker labels and an AI summary.

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

    Record your Teams meeting

    Join the Teams call in your browser and click the RecordMeeting button to start recording. No bot joins the call.

  3. 3

    Wait for the transcript to process

    When you leave the call, the recording uploads and the transcript is generated automatically with OpenAI Whisper. Most meetings are ready within a few minutes.

  4. 4

    Read, search, or export the transcript

    Open the meeting in your workspace to read the full transcript with timestamps and speaker labels. Search inside it, copy text, or download as TXT, DOCX, or SRT subtitles.

  5. 5

    Use the AI summary

    Alongside the transcript, RecordMeeting generates a summary, key topics, and an action-items list, useful for sharing meeting outcomes without making your team re-watch the call.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the transcription?
RecordMeeting uses OpenAI Whisper. In clear English audio, accuracy typically exceeds 95%. Accuracy drops with heavy background noise, very strong accents, or overlapping speakers.

Does it work if my tenant has transcription disabled?
Yes. RecordMeeting's transcription runs on the recording you capture in your browser, independent of your Microsoft 365 license tier or tenant transcription policy.

Can I download the transcript?
Yes, as plain text, DOCX, or SRT subtitles. You can also copy and paste from the in-app viewer.

Are speakers identified?
Yes. Transcripts include speaker labels based on the meeting participants.
