Control who can record your Teams Meeting

By default anyone you invite to a Teams meeting can record it from within the Teams app. Only one person can record the meeting, and the recording will be automatically saved to Microsoft Stream and shared with attendees. To restrict who can record, follow the directions below to prevent others from presenting or recording.

To prevent others from presenting or recording

  1. Find the meeting you previously scheduled on your calendar in the Teams app. Click on the meeting to open the details.

  2. Click the Meeting Options link:

     

  3. Change the “Who can present?” option from Everyone to Specific People or Only Me

    When you remove someone’s ability to present, it changes their role from Presenter to Attendee. Western faculty, staff, and students are presenters by default, so you must change the role after the meeting is created if you would like to change their role in the meeting. The Attendee role can join the meeting with audio/video, participate in the meeting chat, and view content shared by presenters. The Attendee role cannot:

    1. Share their screen or other content

    2. Take control of a presentation, mute others, remove others, or change their role

    3. Admit guests from the lobby

    4. Start or stop recording
