Can teams voice calls be recorded

Hi Emily, thanks for reaching out.

Meeting vs. Private Call: Teams differentiates between calls set up as meetings and private calls. Recordings are more likely with meetings.

Company Policy: The organisation may have policies in place that dictate whether Teams calls can be recorded and under what circumstances.

Compliance Recording: In some regulated industries, there may be legal requirements for recording calls.

Third-Party Tools: While Microsoft Teams itself doesn’t have built-in recording for private calls, your employer might be using third-party add-ons that enable recording.

Here’s a breakdown:

Meetings: Teams meetings can be explicitly recorded by any organiser or attendee, and there will be a visual notification to all participants. Some organisations may also have policies for automatic recording of certain meetings.

Private Calls: Microsoft Teams doesn’t have a built-in feature for recording private calls without other tools or knowledge from the participant. However, as mentioned above, third-party add-ons can enable this functionality.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask, we’re here to help you further if needed.
Your VAF Team.
