Automatic recording meetings
If you know beforehand that a meeting should be recorded then it would be nice to have an option when scheduling the meeting to start recording automatically. This can help with not forgetting to start recording and save some time and effort not having to remember to do it manually.

I need automatic recording also. I always miss the first 5-10 minutes until I remember to call start.

We are looking for this as well as well as a way to insert 'consent to record' automatically in the meeting invitations.

yes please! I record meetings for the purposes of minute-taking, nearly gave myself a heart attack when I got half way through a meeting and hadn't hit record! The timer actually seemed to backdate itself when I did press start, but when the recording was delivered it only the second half :'-(

I would like to set automatic recording in the meeting invitation. We have meetings that we want to record and others that we don't. I think it would be good to allow a setting when creating the meeting invitation that asks/selects whether you want to record the meeting or not.

Please don't make me have to go back to using GoToWebinar.... without TEAMS having the reliability of a simple record on Start of meeting options, it pushes me to have to use GoToWebinar. If they can do it, why can't Microsoft?

Upvote. This should be already included as an option as other cloud meeting services already do this.

Hi, this feature is an obsolute must. I my company, we organise regular learning sessions. This sessions need to be recorded every time for people who missed it.
So every time, we have to make sure someone thinks about recording which is not efficient.
In many occasions people forgot to start the recording.
It would be great to add this feature as a priority.When setting-up the meeting, you should be able to trigger a setting to start the recording automatically as soon as the meeting starts.
Thank you! :)

Should be a record meeting option when meeting is scheduled and the invites would show that the meeting is being recorded in advance.

It'd be very nice to set this when scheduling a meeting. (This option is available in Zoom)

My professors regularly forget to start a recording so their students can watch later. It would be nice to be able to start lecture recordings automatically in a Teams meeting.

This post suggests someone was thinking about this last year? Surely it is time for general release of the feature?

This would be incredibly helpful to have the option, particularly in delivering lectures as not all presenters remember to record and those 'external' presenters don't have the ability to record their own lectures.

Its really horrible that company like Microsoft forget some of the basic features in the its app Microsoft teams. I have committed to my participants that I will share recording with you. But during one session I forgot to start recording. It was literally difficult to give answers to those participants. I tried to search option to start recording automatically. But surprisingly, there is no such option.
This is another basic and big loopholes in the app.

I like to see all Teams calls automatically recorded without someone having to select 'start recording' option. I don't want this to be an option for people to select, this should be the default.

this would be a great feature to implement, sales teams could listen to their meetings and not miss important information shared, it could be also used for training purposes.

I work at a pediatric hospital and our talent recruiters are starting to use Teams as virtual interview platform and they would like this feature also. Like others said, if you forget to click record then it's too late.

Also using to teach classes and there is so much to deal with that it's hard to remember to record. Also, many of us are moving from classroom to classroom, so it's always a crunch to be ready for the beginning of class
