MS-900 Describe Microsoft 365 apps and services Practice Question
An organization uses Microsoft Teams and wants to record meetings for compliance purposes. Which Microsoft 365 service provides meeting recording with automatic transcription?
⚠ Common exam trap
Microsoft often tests the misconception that Microsoft Stream is the service that provides meeting recording and transcription, but in reality, Stream is only a playback and management interface, while the recording and transcription are native Teams features.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Microsoft Teams meeting recording
Microsoft Teams meeting recording with automatic transcription is a native feature of Teams itself, not a separate service. When a meeting is recorded, Teams stores the recording in OneDrive or SharePoint, but the recording and transcription capabilities are part of the Teams meeting experience. Option B is correct because Teams meeting recording directly provides the recording and automatic transcription for compliance purposes.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Microsoft OneDrive
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft OneDrive is a cloud-based file storage and synchronization service. It serves as the storage destination for recordings of non-channel Teams meetings, but it does not have any built-in functionality to initiate or capture meeting content. The recording action itself is always performed within Teams; OneDrive only receives the final video file.
- ✓
Microsoft Teams meeting recording
Why this is correct
Microsoft Teams meeting recording is the native feature that captures the meeting's audio, video, screen sharing, and chat transcript. The organizer or a presenter clicks the record button in the meeting controls, and the recording is then processed, transcribed, and stored for playback. It is the only correct method to record a Teams meeting directly.
- ✗
Microsoft Forms
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Forms is a lightweight survey and quiz tool that collects text-based responses via forms. It has no capability to capture audio, video, or screen activity during a Teams meeting, and there is no integration for meeting recording. Thus, while Forms can gather feedback after a session, it is not a recording mechanism.
- ✗
Microsoft Stream
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Stream is an enterprise video hosting and management service where recorded meetings can be uploaded and played back, but it cannot start or stop a recording. In older deployments, Stream (classic) stored Team meeting recordings, but the capture always happened in Teams. Current architecture uses Stream on SharePoint as a playback surface, not as a recording tool.
