Microsoft Teams will now release ability to record and transcribe 1:1 VOIP and PSTN calls and show the recording and transcription in Call history in the calls details panel. This is a critical feature specifically for our Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) customers. In absence of chat, PSTN callees do not have a way to view call recordings and transcriptions. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 83497.
1:1 VOIP and PSTN Call Recording and Transcription will now show in the Calls App, in the “call details” panel. This feature permits users to view call recordings and transcriptions for both PSTN and VoIP calls. Users have the option to delete call recordings, removing them from the call history in “call details” panel. If there are multiple recordings of a call, each call recording will appear in a list in call history, in the “call details” panel.
