How to Record a Screen Share or Teams Meeting

Modified on Tue, Sep 10 at 11:42 AM

Occasionally, you may need to send a video grab to a vendor showing them an issue you are experiencing, or you may wish to create a video tutorial to share with others.  This can be accomplished in Microsoft Teams.  You can also record a Teams meeting after joining.  (Please note that you cannot record impromptu Teams calls, but you can follow the steps below to "Meet Now" and create a meeting that is recordable, and invite any participants as you wish.)


To create a recording


    • Open Teams
    • Go to your Calendar in Teams: 

  • Click on the Meet now button:


  • Join the meeting by clicking on Join now (if using the web app you may be asked to allow your browser to use your camera and microphone)
