Overview
The process of recording and creating a transcript of your meeting can be accomplished before a meeting begins or during your meeting. Meeting Options provided when scheduling your meeting through your Teams calendar will allow you to record the meeting and create a transcript automatically; the recording will begin as soon as the first person enters the meeting. If you prefer to choose when to begin recording, you can opt to use the recording options within the meeting’s toolbar. If you prefer just a written transcript of your meeting, you can select this option from within your meeting.
Before the Meeting
When creating the meeting, toggle on the “Record automatically” within the Meeting Options panel. In addition to a meeting recording, this will also automatically create a transcript of the meeting.

If you do not set the meeting to be automatically recorded, you can begin the recording from the meeting toolbar.
