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.

Please add the ability to pause and resume during the recording of meetings. If Teams is being used for lengthy meetings and conferences, training sessions in this now mostly remote world, the ability to pause during little breaks is important.
Other meeting platforms have it (I think even Skype did).

PLEASE!! With all the classroom recordings, it would be great to be able to pause while the class takes a break (such as a bathroom break) and resume the meeting rather than making another meeting and another recording.

yes this appears to be a complete oversight and it was available in Skype for Business when Microsoft acquired it.
The limit of 4 hours of continuous recording time is hindered by not adding this feature, due to an inevitable need for breaks during long sessions.

Hi. It would be invaluable to be able to pause a Microsoft teams video recording to enhance using the videos for teaching purposes. Thanks in anticipation.

Pause option during call record to avoid recording of a short break time or the activity we don't want to record when user checking for some things and to get back shortly.

I'm at an educational institution where we require lectures be recorded for remote delivered courses - it would be nice to pause the meeting recording for when conversations of a sensitive nature would happen.

Especially useful for hosting training sessions. We often break for 10-15 mins that I wouldn't want on my recording, but I also don't want to break the session into pt.1 and 2

Yes, please add this feature. Just today I had an example working from home where my miniature pinscher had to be let outside during a training I was recording. It would have been so great to hit pause. My trainees were very understanding, we all have to make allowances for the COVID world, but to have to go back to edit the recording takes so much extra time. And it's 4th quarter! Such a busy time. I think this is an essential feature to have.

This is a must have feature, we use Teams meetings for board of directors meetings and is not likely to be stopping and starting recordings several times during the same session. This is already working in other meeting platforms but not in Microsoft Teams

Yes please! Being able to pause would be amazing. Especially as Teams is often used to record presentations.

Not beeing able to use pause in Video meeting is one reason we use zoom to do "training" online and teams for other things.
