      Microsoft Teams Recording has become a critical component of compliance in organizations because of the increased adoption of the platform due to the pandemic. From video and chat to screen sharing and A/B calling, all Microsoft Teams interactions are required to be recorded and retained per regulations like MiFID II, HIPAA, Dodd-Frank, and FDCPA put into practice by bodies like the SEC, FCA, ESMA, MAS and more. 

      The widespread adoption of Teams brought about the challenge that organizations in regulated industries had to figure out how to capture, store, retain, and produce these recordings. If your organization or industry is required to record customer conversations and electronic communications, it is crucial to ensure your Microsoft Teams recordings are legal. 

      This blog post will cover what Microsoft Teams is and what the recording of it entails, along with key points on how you can efficiently manage it to maintain compliance. 

      What is Microsoft Teams? 

      Microsoft Teams is a communication application commonly used by organizations for business continuity purposes in an age where people still must be able to collaborate when working in different locations. It offers multiple channels of communication, including chat, video, and voice, all on one unified platform. 

      What makes Microsoft Teams so popular is its ability to facilitate better communication among employees. Through the mobile app on a cell phone to accessing it on any computer, Microsoft Teams offers several means of communication in one central spot. This has led to the widespread adoption of the tool, especially in organizations and industries that are subject to regulations and retention periods. 

      What is Microsoft Teams Recording? 

      Wherever the workforce is located, they still must remain compliant with regulations and corporate policies that require you to record, store, and monitor all regulated transactions and interactions, including on Microsoft Teams. 

      Microsoft Teams Recording is a solution offered by Wilmac that helps businesses centrally capture, retain, analyze, and retrieve all communications from Teams calling and meeting scenarios – including voice calling, chat, online meetings, screen sharing, and more.

      How can I maintain compliance with recording Microsoft Teams? 

      The compliance functionality of a Microsoft Teams Recording solution must be carefully considered when dealing with the potential hefty fines associated with non-compliance. There are several aspects of Wilmac’s solution that ensure compliance: 

      1. Capturing the entire communication 

      The several communication modalities available through Microsoft Teams include meetings, voice calls, video sessions, screen sharing, chat, and notes.

      2. Full administrative control

Recording can be programmed to be done automatically or on-demand, and recording rules by user, group, media, or direction can be set. Access can be configured, along with playback rights and the approval process.  

       3. Turning the recordings into insights 

      Wilmac Microsoft Teams Recording offers an analytical tool. The user can generate informative reports, including information on usage, compliance, data logs, and many more. Recordings can also be imported and exported to third-party tools for further use. 

       4. Secure architecture
