Enhance communication with your team with this new update.

Microsoft is bringing a new feature to Teams in January, video recording for channels. Previously, this was only available in chat. This new feature will allow users to record themselves, their screen, or audio to a post or reply in channels.

Users will see a new option labeled as “Record video clip” within the channel after the update is rolled out. This feature will be in the box where posts are composed in. Select the + sign, and the new record button will be there by default.

The new feature is expected to start rolling out in early January and should be available for everyone by the end of the month. Interested in seeing how it works? Head over to the Microsoft Support page on recording a video or audio clip in Microsoft Teams.
