Possibility to pause a video recording
It would be great to have a possibility to pause and continue meeting recording.

Thank you for your feedback. The team has this ask under review, and are considering options for implementing this feature. We will share an update as soon as one is available.

We may have a 3-4 hour meeting, I would like to be able to pause it for breaks.

Please we need the pause feature on Teams. Its basically one of the important features missing. Thanks.

This is one of those features, that Microsoft should make a high priority. Why? Because Zoom can do this. There shouldn't be any features that Zoom has, that Teams does not.
As an IT Director, this feature chasing is getting old. Every time I think that MS has caught up to Zoom, I have an end user say, "Yeah, but what about this..." Ugh.
I'm doing my best at fending off Zoom, but I don't know how much longer I can hold out...

This is a feature that we need in Microsoft Teams.

We need the ability to pause the recording of video when meetings veer into confidential matters which are not for the minutes, and therefore not for the recording.

At times it so happens that we start to record the concept discussed in a meeting for future reference, and something else comes up which we might not need to record. And then when we resume back to our concept discussion, we would want to resume our recording.

We are really looking to get the function to PAUSE a meeting recording to allow for breaks etc during all day or multiday meetings that carry over. It gets a bit clunky to have several recordings for a single meeting due to breaks.

Yes please! I record training and in the training I do quizzes to check learning progress. People do not want their level of aptitude captured in a video others will watch, for example.

Yes, the ability to pause and resume recordings in meetings would be fantastic.

Yes, a badly needed feature that is a no brainer!

Because we cannot pause for long sessions that we only want one recording, we have been using other platforms. It would be nice when training we could pause when recording is not needed, short breaks, non related discussion.

Pausing the recording in a meeting would be a really useful feature - please consider this for future updates.

Please add a pause recording feature. We use Teams to conduct virtual trainings, and need to pause when they are doing their work and re-start so that way people watching the recorded session don't have to try to figure out where to fast forward to.

Yes as gaps in a recording while students are doing tasks is not suitable.

Agreed. There's a lot of "Dead Time" during breakout group work during my classes. When my students watch that video, it would be better not to have those minutes lost in the recording.
