How to transcribe a Microsoft Teams recording
Download your Teams recording, upload it to NoteScribe, and get a transcript plus structured decisions and action items — no bot and no Teams integration.
Microsoft Teams saves meeting recordings to OneDrive or SharePoint, depending on how your organization is set up. The recording captures the conversation, but acting on it means extracting the decisions and follow-ups it contains.
NoteScribe turns a Teams recording into structured intelligence without touching your Microsoft account. You download the recording and upload it; NoteScribe transcribes the audio and pulls out the decisions, action items, and open questions. No bot joined the meeting, and no integration or admin approval is needed.

- For confidential calls, uploading afterward means you choose exactly which recordings get processed.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need admin permission to use NoteScribe with Teams?▾
No. NoteScribe does not integrate with Microsoft Teams, so there is no app to approve. You simply download the recording you already have and upload the file — no admin involvement required.
Will a bot join my Teams meeting?▾
No. NoteScribe never joins meetings. The workflow is entirely post-meeting: you upload a recording and receive the transcript and structured outcomes.
Where does Teams save my recording?▾
Teams typically saves recordings to OneDrive or SharePoint, with a link in the meeting chat. Download that file, then upload it to NoteScribe to transcribe it and extract decisions and action items.
