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.

It is VITAL that there be a pause option during meeting recording to handle breaks and technical difficulties. This was available before in Skype for Business. It seems like a huge oversight that it is not available in Teams.

It would be very beneficial to pause a recording during a meeting, so that post-processing of a recording (or several recordings) is not required. Is there a planned date to have this important functionality?

We are using Teams in a judicial environment and use the recording function to generate a semi-official transcript. It would be great to pause the recording when the proceedings are in recess.

Please add pause functionality to Teams recording. There's a start and stop button but no pause. Thanks!

Considering the breaks during the long meetings, this feature is sort of must to have. Otherwise someone needs to edit the video to cut the break times.
We need this feature where we use it recording feature everyday!
Thank you. -

While not having a pause function may have some side benefits (Since the people playing the recorded session have to keep on fast forwarding the video to skip breaks, it will keep them attentive!) let there be at least a choice to use or not use the pause function!

Pausing a recording would really help while creating capsules of knowledge bases/lectures etc.

Agree, lots of reasons to pause a meeting.

Recording is going on of a session on team and you got another call from someone on team. In this case we must have a pause/resume option for the ongoing recording of the session.
I believe it is a very common scenario most of the users facing.
Thanks.

Need to add the ability to pause while recording a meeting. This was a feature in Skype and since Teams replaced it, I'm not sure why that went away. Let alone so many other programs have that functionality.
Only option is to stop the recording.

There needs to be a way to pause a recording if there is a break or lunch on Microsoft Teams. If ZOOM can do it, then I am fairly certain Microsoft should be able to come up with a way.
