Microsoft Teams

Setup & Behavior

Setup

• No setup is needed
• Team recording bots work automatically without any configuration

Recording Behavior

• No recording permission is needed for Microsoft Teams calls.
• This means that as long as the bot is in the call, it will be able to record.

Joining Behavior

• By default, Microsoft Teams bots will need to be let in from the lobby.
• The host can require that all participants (incl. the recording bot) enter through the waiting room.

Below shows the Microsoft Teams settings for lobby behavior:

• Green: Bots will be able to join without authenticating if the end user changes their setting to "Everyone"
• Red: Bots will bypass the lobby only if they're authenticated, otherwise they will go through the lobby

Limitations

Screen-Share Capturing

• Microsoft Teams has native screen-sharing feature that is focused on Microsoft-specific applications.
• Users can share certain applications and documents directly, instead of actually screen-sharing a window or their entire screen.
• Weflow's recording bots currently do not support capturing these special native screen-sharing features, since they use a different mechanism than sharing your screen, window, or tab.

Limitations include:

• Microsoft Whiteboard
• Powerpoint live
• Excel Live
