How do I transcribe a Microsoft Teams meeting?
Download your Teams recording (it's saved to OneDrive or SharePoint), upload the MP4 to 1Transcribe, and get an accurate transcript with speaker labels in minutes — powered by OpenAI's Whisper. A one-click AI summary captures the decisions and action items. Recordings under 5 minutes are free; longer meetings up to 10 hours need a subscription.
Where to find your Teams recording
Microsoft Teams stores meeting recordings in the cloud:
- Open the meeting chat (or OneDrive / SharePoint for channel meetings) and find the recording.
- Download the MP4 file to your computer.
- Upload it to 1Transcribe, choose a language, and download the transcript.
Summaries, action items, and speaker labels
1Transcribe labels each speaker automatically and turns the meeting into a one-click AI summary with the decisions, action items, and follow-ups — ready to paste into a doc or send to the team. Transcripts are fully searchable and export to Word, PDF, SRT, or TXT.
Long meetings, kept private
Transcribe a single recording up to 10 hours without splitting, at up to 99.9% accuracy even with accents and cross-talk. Your files are not used to train AI models and are deleted after 14 days. Prefer not to dig through OneDrive? You can record the Teams meeting in the app — no bot joins the call and no admin setup is needed.
