Record Microsoft Teams calls on Mac
Capture Teams meetings and 1:1 calls on macOS without an admin policy, without a Teams recording license, and without a bot joining the call.
How it works with Microsoft Teams
- 1
Join the Teams call
Desktop app or teams.microsoft.com — both work. Call Recorder doesn't interact with Teams.
- 2
Hit record in the menubar
⌘R starts capture of Teams' system audio plus your mic. A red dot in your menubar confirms recording is live.
- 3
Stop and get your file
On stop, both sides are mixed and saved locally. Click Transcribe Last Recording to generate a transcript — all on your Mac.
Why Call Recorder for Microsoft Teams
Teams' built-in recording is controlled by your IT admin, often disabled for guests, and stored in SharePoint or Stream. Call Recorder captures the call locally to your Mac, regardless of Teams policy.
- Bypasses company Teams recording policies (for calls you're legally allowed to record)
- No bot joins the meeting — Teams sees no recording
- Works on guest-invited calls where recording is usually disabled
- Captures video-call audio, audio calls, and voicemail playback
- Transcripts are stored next to the .m4a as .txt
- Works offline — no Microsoft 365 connection needed
Microsoft Teams — Q&A
My company's Teams policy blocks recording. Does this work?+
The app records at the OS level and doesn't interact with Teams, so the policy doesn't apply technically. But your company's data-handling policies probably still do — check before using it at work.
Do other participants see a notification?+
No. Teams has no way to detect OS-level audio capture. Consent rules still apply.
Can I record when I'm just a guest (not in the org)?+
Yes — Call Recorder works the same whether you're the host, member, or guest. Teams' own recording is usually disabled for guests; Call Recorder is not.
Will it capture screen-share audio?+
Yes — any audio that comes through your Mac's output, including screen-share audio from other participants, is captured.
