Microsoft Teams

Weflow’s Teams bots record calls without setup but may require lobby admission and don’t support breakout rooms or native screen-sharing.

Updated this week

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

Registration-required meetings & webinars

Meetings and webinars that require registration are currently not supported.

Teams breakout rooms
