I have Microsoft 365. I want to my Teams Meeting notes to be transcribed and then sent to me in an email or in a different way once the meeting has ended.

I have Microsoft 365, but when I view the menu once I'm in the meeting, be selecting the three dots at the top, I only see "Start Recording" and "Live Captions". I don't see the option to select copilot or "start transcribing".

How can I check whether I have this option for my Teams Meeting notes to be transcribed (recorded) and sent to me. I basically want note taking to occur automatically for my Team Meeting.

Thank you

    To check if your Microsoft 365 subscription has the option to transcribe meeting notes during your Teams Meeting, you can follow these steps:

    1. Verify Subscription Type: Ensure that you have a subscription that includes transcription features. Not all Microsoft 365 subscriptions have the capability to record and transcribe meetings automatically.
    2. Check Meeting Policy: As an admin, you can manage transcription settings in the Teams admin center. If you are not the admin, you may need to contact your IT department to verify if transcription is enabled for your account.
    3. Meeting Options: During a Teams Meeting, you should see options for recording and live captions. If you do not see the option to start transcription, it may be due to your account's permissions or the meeting policy settings.
    4. Licensing Requirements: Ensure that you have the necessary licenses, such as Teams Premium or Microsoft 365 Copilot, which may be required for certain transcription features.
    5. Contact Support: If you still cannot find the option, consider reaching out to Microsoft support for assistance in determining your subscription capabilities and settings.

    Once transcription is enabled, you can start the transcription during the meeting, and it will be available after the meeting ends. However, automatic emailing of transcripts may not be a built-in feature and might require additional steps to access the transcript after the meeting.

    Hello !

    Unfortunately, on consumer Microsoft 365 plans, you cannot use the transcription feature in Microsoft Teams.
    This feature is only available for business licenses of Microsoft 365.

    Please let me know if you have any other question !
