Microsoft Teams: Sharing recap access

Introduction

Microsoft Teams is introducing enhanced recap sharing. Meeting organizers can grant access to meeting recordings, transcripts, AI-generated summaries, and notes when copying or sharing a recap link. This update improves how meeting content can be shared with people who were not part of the original meeting.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 559606.

When this will happen:

• Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out in mid-May 2026 and expect to complete by mid-May 2026.
• General Availability (GCC): We will begin rolling out in early June 2026 and expect to complete by early June 2026.
• General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in early June 2026 and expect to complete by late June 2026.
• General Availability (GCC High): We will begin rolling out in early July 2026 and expect to complete by early July 2026.

What will happen:
