Summary:
Microsoft Teams will offer AI meeting recaps without saving transcripts or recordings, supporting compliance policies. Available mid-2026 for M365 Copilot Premium users, organizers can enable/disable this feature pre- or during meetings. It’s controlled by tenant AI settings and generates summaries using live meeting context only.
Details:
[Introduction]
Recap without saving transcript provides an optional way for Copilot to generate a meeting summary using live meeting context, without saving a meeting transcript or recording.
This capability is intended for scenarios where organizations want AI‑generated recaps but have policies that limit or prohibit the retention of transcripts or recordings. When disabled, no AI recap is generated. Existing Copilot licensing and tenant‑level AI controls continue to apply.
This feature will be available to users with an M365 Copilot (Premium) license across platforms, including desktop (Windows and Mac), web, and mobile.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 558286.
[When this will happen:]
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out mid-May 2026 and expect to complete by late May 2026.
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early June 2026 and expect to complete by mid-June 2026.
