Upload a MS Teams Recording to YuJa and Generate Auto-Captions

Last updated on March 24, 2026

When you record a meeting in Teams, that recording is automatically available to all of the members of the Class Team the meeting was scheduled in, or any required attendees. Teams does automatically generate a transcript and captions for recordings that you can edit, however, it may helpful to upload the recording to YuJa so you don’t have to worry about the access settings in Teams.
