Thankfully, [Microsoft Teams](https://www.techloy.com/tag/microsoft-teams/) has a feature that makes that process easy. With its built-in transcription feature, you can automatically capture everything that’s said during a meeting, complete with timestamps and speaker labels.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to enable and download a meeting transcription in Teams so you can focus on the discussion while Teams handles the note-taking.

### Step 4: You can choose to either start a transcript or start a recording; it doesn't really matter which you pick. I chose 'Start transcription'

### Step 5: Confirm the language. Once you do that, the meeting is recorded and stored, and everyone receives a notification that they are being recorded. (But you should mention it to them too.)

### Step 7: You can now download the transcript of the call as either a .docx or **.vtt** file format
