- Product
- Microsoft Teams
- Device & OS

- Scenario
- Configuring meeting permissions before or during a Microsoft Teams meeting.
- Observed behavior
- By default, users who are allowed to present might also have recording permissions. The goal is to separate presenter permissions from recording permissions.
Ensure you have organizer or co-organizer privileges for the Teams meeting, as only organizers can access and modify these specific meeting options.
Configure Meeting Options in Microsoft Teams
Adjust the meeting options to separate recording controls from presenter permissions.
Microsoft Teams allows you to granularly manage who can present and who can record. By adjusting the Meeting options, you can give everyone the ability to share their screen without handing over recording controls.
Navigate to your calendar in Microsoft Teams, double-click the scheduled meeting, and click on 'Meeting options'.
In the Meeting options page, locate the 'Who can present?' dropdown menu and change it to 'Everyone' or 'Specific people' depending on who needs to share their screen.
Scroll down to find the 'Who can record and transcribe?' setting and change it to 'Organizers and Co-organizers'.
Click 'Save' at the bottom of the page to apply your new settings. Attendees can now present without being able to record.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I see the 'Who can record and transcribe' option in my Teams meeting?
This setting might be unavailable if your organization's IT administrator has disabled meeting recordings globally or locked the recording settings via Teams admin policies.
Can external guests record a Teams meeting if they are designated as presenters?
No. If you restrict recording permissions specifically to 'Organizers and Co-organizers', guests and external users cannot record the meeting, even if they have been granted presenter rights to share their screens.
How do I add a co-organizer so they can help manage the recording?
In the Meeting options menu, locate the 'Choose co-organizers' field and search for the participant's name. Note that they must be formally invited to the meeting and belong to your organization to be eligible.
