Microsoft Teams

You must have the transcription capability turned on in your Teams account. You can learn how to do that here. Next, you will need to record and transcribe your meetings. You can do this in two ways:

Manually record meetings individually

Once you join the meeting look for the ellipses under "more."

Next, click Record and Transcribe. A notification will appear to let everyone in the meeting know they are being recorded.

Automate recording recurring meetings you own

After you create your meeting, view the meeting info find the Meeting Options link and click it.

You will then be taken to a web page for Teams where you will need to toggle on Record Automatically.

At the beginning of each meeting thereafter, everyone will see a notification that the meeting is being recorded and transcribed.

After your meetings are transcribed you will need to download the .vtt files (voice to text) so you can upload them into Empwr.ai.
