You can use Microsoft Teams to make recordings using video, audio and your screen, or just audio and screen as required. These recordings will then be uploaded automatically to Stream.

Trouble-shooting

Record Button not available

Some users have identified that their button is ‘greyed out’ and they cannot switch on recording. If this is the case for you, please submit a ticket using the  IT Self Service Portal. This has been seen when a user joined as a ‘Guest’ rather than with their Office 365 account.
