While it may be most common to use Microsoft Teams for work, the communication app is actually also available for personal use through Microsoft 365 subscriptions. However, private users have been missing some of the better features that are only available in the business version of Teams. Going forward, that’s going to change.
Microsoft just announced in a post on the Teams Free Blog that Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, and Premium subscribers will now be able to record their meetings and calls in Microsoft Teams. The recordings will be stored for only 30 days in the cloud, but they can be downloaded locally to your PC if you want to save them permanently.
Microsoft says these recordings can be useful for remote music teachers, for example, or creators who want to record podcast interviews.
User feedback is said to have prompted Microsoft to roll out the recordings feature to personal Teams users, and the company is now asking for more suggestions on how to further improve Teams.
