Recordings

Be thoughtful about creating and sharing recordings of Teams meetings.Meetings should not be recorded absent an articulated business purpose or academic need (including as a reasonable accommodation) that requires recording of the meeting. Before deciding to record a Teams meeting, ask yourself if you would record the meeting if it occurred in person.

Inform meeting attendees, prior to a recorded meeting, how you intend to record, use, and share video. You may also consider giving attendees options to participate without having their image or voice recorded, such as allowing them to attend with no video or audio, and the option to pose questions only in the text chat window. Because you can start and stop recordings in Teams at any time, you can choose to include unrecorded time throughout your Teams session, giving attendees an opportunity to discuss topics or ask questions that they do not wish to have recorded.

• Recordings Expire after 90 days (beginning 9/1/2021)
