Microsoft Teams is a widely used video conferencing tool that enables participants to record their sessions for later use. But, the issue is that these recordings are typically saved in a unique format, accessible exclusively through the Teams application. Should you wish to distribute your recorded session to others or modify it with external editing tools, converting the file to an MP4 format is necessary.
Step 1: Open Microsoft Teams
To begin the conversion process, open the Microsoft Teams app on your device. You can do this by clicking on the Teams icon in your taskbar or searching for “Microsoft Teams” in your Start menu.
Step 2: Access Your Recordings
Once you’re logged into Teams, click on the three dots in the top right corner of the screen and select “Meetings.” From there, click on “Recordings” to access your saved meetings.
Step 3: Select Your Recording
In the Recordings tab, you’ll see a list of all the meetings you’ve recorded. Click on the one you want to convert to MP4 format.
Step 4: Download the Recording
Once you’ve selected your recording, click on the “Download” button in the top right corner of the screen. This will download a ZIP file containing the recording and any associated files.
Step 5: Extract the Recording
After downloading the ZIP file, extract it to a folder on your computer. Inside the folder, you’ll find a VTT file and an MP4 file. The MP4 file is the one you want to convert.
To convert the MP4 file to MP4 format, you can use any video converter software that supports the conversion of MP4 files. One popular option is HandBrake, which is available for both Windows and Mac operating systems.
Once you’ve converted your recording to MP4 format, save it in a location that’s easy to access. You can then share the file with others or edit it using third-party software.
Conclusion
Converting Microsoft Teams recordings to MP4 format is a simple process that can be done using any video converter software. By following these steps, you’ll be able to share your recordings with others or edit them using third-party software.
