Who can start or stop a recording?

Anyone who meets the following criteria can start or stop a recording, even if the meeting organizer isn't present.

• Has an Office 365 Enterprise E1, E3, or E5 license.
• Has a recording license from an IT admin.
• Isn't a guest or from another organization.

Note: If an admin has set a company policy for saving to Microsoft Stream, you need to accept it before starting the recording.

Notes: 

• Recording continues even if the person who started the recording has left the meeting.
• The recording stops automatically once everyone leaves the meeting.
• If someone forgets to leave the meeting, the recording automatically ends after four hours.

Privacy

When a meeting recording starts, Teams shows a notification to all participants on the Teams desktop, web, and mobile apps, as well as to people who joined via phone. In some places, you legally need to get everyone's permission before you can record them. Make sure you know the rules before you start.
