Microsoft Teams: Record Recaps & Run Breakout Rooms

Course description

This course guides learners through the advanced collaboration features of Microsoft Teams, focusing on using apps within meetings, recording sessions, leveraging meeting recaps, and organizing breakout rooms for group collaboration. Learners begin by exploring how to enhance meetings with integrated apps such as Microsoft Forms and Polls, including how to launch interactive polls during meetings, save drafts for future use, and add applications like OneNote, PowerPoint, and Whiteboard before a meeting begins. The course emphasizes how apps can improve engagement and streamline collaboration through dynamic, real-time participation. Next, learners gain a full understanding of how to record and transcribe meetings. They will see how to start, pause, and stop recordings, manage automatic transcription, and access recordings afterward through Teams Chat, meeting details, or Microsoft Stream. Learners also discover how to manage expiration settings and permissions to ensure recordings remain available and secure. The course then covers breakout rooms in detail, demonstrating how to create, name, and assign participants to rooms during or before a meeting, send announcements, set time limits, shuffle participants, and customize access options. The final section introduces the Meeting Recap feature, which automatically organizes meeting recordings, transcripts, shared files, AI-generated notes, and follow-up tasks. Learners see how to navigate recaps by speaker, chapter, or topic, making it easy to review key points and track outcomes after a meeting. By the end, learners will be equipped to facilitate interactive, well-documented, and efficient Microsoft Teams meetings from start to finish.
