Microsoft Teams only lets meeting organisers record. Glooin records your screen so you capture any Teams meeting,as a participant, guest, or external user. Instant link. Free.
Microsoft Teams has a built-in record button but it's only available to the meeting organiser. As a participant, guest, or external user, the option simply doesn't appear. Even in organisations with Microsoft 365, most attendees can't record anything.
Glooin solves this by recording your screen instead of the Teams stream. It works regardless of your role, your organisation's M365 plan, or whether you're an internal employee or an external guest.

Teams recording restrictions affect more people than most realise. Here are the most common situations where Glooin helps:
ℹ️ Teams recording requires: Microsoft 365 Business Basic or higher, plus the meeting organiser must allow recording. External guests and participants in basic plans cannot record at all even in organisations that pay for Teams Premium.

Recording laws apply regardless of whether you use Glooin or Teams' built-in recorder. In most regions you need at least one-party consent (yourself). In some EU countries and US states, all participants must agree.
⚠️ Always inform participants before recording."I'm recording this for my own notes" at the start of the call, or "This meeting may be recorded" in the Teams invite, is standard practice in most professional settings.
Say it at the start — "Quick note, I'll be recording this on my end for personal reference." Five seconds. Done.
Add it to the invite body — Microsoft Teams meeting invites have a notes field. Add: "This meeting may be recorded."
Check your organisation's policy — Some M365 organisations have IT policies about recording. If yours does, follow it. Glooin doesn't bypass your company's policies — it simply records your screen as any screen recording software would.
Yes. Glooin records your screen rather than using Teams' built-in recorder, so your role in the meeting doesn't matter. Participant, organiser, external guest Glooin works for all of them.
Teams' built-in record button only appears for meeting organisers on Microsoft 365 Business Basic or higher. If you're a participant, on a free plan, or an external guest, the button won't appear. Glooin bypasses this by recording your screen instead.
Yes. Glooin captures your microphone and the Teams audio playing through your system. For the best audio quality, use Teams in Chrome and choose "Record this tab" it captures the audio stream directly rather than through your microphone and speakers.
Glooin does not trigger Teams' built-in recording notification because it records your screen, not the Teams stream. You are responsible for informing participants before recording as required by your organisation's policy and applicable law.
Both. Glooin records your screen, so it works whether Teams is running in Chrome or in the desktop app. If you use the desktop app, choose "Full screen" or the Teams window when selecting your recording area. For Chrome-based Teams, the "Tab" option gives cleaner audio.
Glooin saves to your personal dashboard at app.glooin.com not SharePoint or OneDrive. You get a shareable link instantly. The link works for anyone, with no Microsoft or Glooin account required to watch. You own the recording permanently.
Free Chrome extension. Works as participant or guest. Instant link no M365 account needed to watch.
