UM staff can record and transcribe a Teams meeting. UM students who need recording and transcribing rights can ask their teacher or supervisor. They can request access via their faculty information manager or faculty IT support.

How to turn on recording and transcribing during your meeting:

• Click the three dots with More.
• Select Record and transcribe.
• Choose the language.
• The meeting is now recorded and transcribed. All participants receive a message about the meeting being recorded.

Keep in mind that if you call via Teams, you cannot record or transcribe. You can only record or transcribe a scheduled Teams meeting (as an organizer or co-organizer).
