Recording a meeting in Teams/sharing the recording

Before recording your first class, you should do a dry run, as you will undoubtedly need to grant Teams permissions to access screen sharing, etc.

To record in Teams:

• Open Teams.
• Click the Calendar tool on the left-hand sidebar.
• Click "Meet Now."
• Give the meeting a meaningful name.  The recording will inherit the name you select here, so something like "xxxxx's Teams Meeting" will make it difficult later to distinguish one recording from another later.
• Click "Start Meeting."
• Choose initial meeting settings (e.g. camera on/off, audio on/off, etc).  
• Click "Join Now."
• Close the "Invite People to Join You" dialog box, as presumably you will be the only one in the meeting.
• When you are ready to start recording, click the 3 dots in the toolbar at the top of the Teams window (More Actions) and click "Start Recording."
• Start teaching.  Click the "Share Content" button (square with an up-arrow) if you want to include content from other apps (e.g. Word, Excel) in the recording.  Be sure to check the "Include Computer Sound" button if your shared content contains audio.  Your camera, if turned on, will not be included in the video while you are sharing content.
• Click "Stop Presenting" to stop sharing your screen.
• When you are finished teaching, click "More Actions" and select "Stop Recording."
• Close the meeting.
