Worth Reading – New Audio-Only Recording Option for Teams Meetings
A feature that should existed for years, in my opnion.
A new audio-only recording option for Teams meeting suppresses the video feed from meeting participants to generate the MP4 file for the meeting recording.

If you’re meeting involves a screenshare or some kind of visual presentation, then video recordings make sense. That’s not every meeting, though. I can’t imagine many things being as boring as watching people talk in a meeting after the fact.
I also know for a fact that it is massively uncomfortable to some to be on camera in a meeting that is being recorded. No one wants to have to go back and see themselves. Still, sometimes you need a recording for folks who missed it or to review weeks later when you forget what you learned. I’m looking forward to more audio only recordings to listen to instead of dealing with video files.
Of course, this is also yet another type of artifact to collect for eDiscovery, so I’ll be taking a look at that as well when it rolls out.
