Part 5: How to Record Teams Meeting Secretly?

Although Microsoft made Teams quite transparent by sending notifications to all the attendees as soon as you start recording a meeting, sometimes you may not want this to happen. In such a case, you must rely on a third-party app that can record your computer screen behind the scenes.

One such program is Filmora by Wondershare. Although Wondershare Filmora is primarily used for industry-standard post-product tasks such as video editing, apply effects and filters to the motion clips, etc., it offers the option to record computer screen , webcam, and audio as additional features so you don’t have to depend on any other software for screencasting.

Step 3: Start Recording Teams Meeting Secretly

After the recording preferences are set, click the Record button to start the screen recording. After this, use the method explained earlier to join or start a new Microsoft Teams meeting.
