Turn a recorded Teams meeting into a narrated video recap

Step 1: Confirm the meeting was recordedTeams

Video recap is generated from the recording — check it captured before relying on this for a meeting that matters.

Step 2: Generate the video recapCopilotTeams

Open the recording's recap and choose the video-highlight generation option — it picks and narrates what it judges to be the key moments, decisions, and shared visuals, rather than playing the whole recording back at a uniformly faster speed, which would still bury the important parts in filler.

Step 3: Watch it before sending it onwardTeams

Confirm the selected highlights are actually the moments that mattered — an automated highlight reel can occasionally pick a tangent over the real decision point.

Step 4: Share it with whoever missed the live meetingTeams

Send the recap directly to absent stakeholders rather than leaving them to find the full recording themselves.

Check the work

• The recap's highlighted moments match what you'd consider the meeting's actual key points.
• No decision made in the meeting is missing from the recap.
• The recap was actually sent to the people who needed it, not just generated and left unshared.
