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.

Yes, we absolutely need this function. If we're using Stream to create a recording for our digitally engaged students at real time students at the same time, we either cannot take breaks, or we make multiple videos of the same content. Please resolve this functionality, Microsoft gurus!

It would be great if MS Teams had the feature where users have the ability to pause a recording during a session or meeting.

Hello, it would be better if it has function to pause the recording video, why? Because as we have online classes currently, we have break time as well, so in order to avoid much data this function would be much useful. Thank you.

PLEASE add a pause feature. Our teachers are using Teams but there are times when they need to PAUSE a recording. I don't want them going to other programs, as we are a Microsoft school. This is an urgent request!

We record our training & some meetings, and when there's a technical glitch (e.g., bad connection, poor audio), it'd be helpful to pause until it's corrected.

Please, we need the pause function. It will be immensely helpful for teachers/professors who conduct 3-4 hours of online lecture on teams.

More than a possibility please! I was heartbroken to see that the first hour of class recording in MS Stream got overwritten with the last hour of effort after we took a break. Pause button is essential for class delivery.

Thanks Ashish
This feature is badly required for longer trainings, sessions, workshops etc.
Causes inconvenience to keep the session idle for long breaks -

MS TEAMS Meeting recording is not have a pause button.Only STOP option is there and if we follow that STOP and START it again then a new record happen.This feature is required when we need a break during a long call and we want to resume after break.Practical use case where many of our internal user looking in to this feature.

Yes, please add this feature. This is important for when you are taking a short break during a long meeting and want to be able to just resume.

This is important. At times the item need to be shown that are confidential - they should be shown to the people on the call but should not be seen by people who view the recording later.

Need to pause recordings at times when delivering long virtual trainings but don't want multiple files to share our edit post presentation.
