Does anyone know of any linux software that will record a Microsoft Teams session (audio and video) held in a browser by a guest ?
I know that if you are the host you can record the session in Teams.
Any screen capture program could do it. Before reading the post I was going to suggest the Windows game bar (windows+g keys), but then you had to throw Linux in there. (really windows+alt+r keys for recording) Worked fine for the Teams meeting about the VMUG Advantage stuff last week.
Something to note, one “thing” that I’m currently going through and recording gave me a bunch of files that were black, I had to turn off GPU acceleration in the browser to be able to record some of these “things”. You may need to do the same in Linux. (I paid for this “thing” so I’m keeping the videos in my library like other “things” I might do, don’t judge)
You could probably open a browser inside an OBS scene and record through that. Kind of heavy handed for the task, but should work.
Big alternate: HDMI out to a capture device, yes I have one of those as well. Ultimate backup for when I need to capture something, and it must not fail. Might also need an HDMI splitter and a monitor for the HDCP handshake.
[edit before posting] WOW, even Duck Duck Go is full of garbage sites “10 best screen recorders for Linux”. Junk, not clicking. Gnome has a tool, but never used it, not sure if XFCE does as well. I’d bet that KDE has something. And Wayland will probably have messed it all up.
In Teams the guest can record if the setting has been enabled I have read.
OBS appears to be “easiest” option of recording a browser window, I’ll give that a bash for my meeting.
Building a method to record is good for those times when you don’t want the “Recording” message to appear. But yes, if enabled a guest can create the recording and or create a transcript of the spoken parts. All depends on how the meeting is set up, which is generally done wrong.
Ah ha, sounds like there is an AI component to Teams that must transcribe, hmmm that’s handy.
I think it goes out to Bing for speech to text, MS Word has done this for several years.
But there are other AI things getting shoved in there whether we want them or not. CoPilot is like an invasive species that crawls through everything. Adobe is no better with Creative Cloud.
