Send a Video or Audio Clip in Microsoft Teams

Do you ever want to send a video clip in Microsoft Teams chat, but it’s just too long or too complicated to explain? Rather than waiting for an available time to call, the Video/Audio Clip feature in Teams makes communication even easier.

Within a Microsoft Teams chat, users can record and send a one-minute video, screen-share, or audio clip message. The recipient can watch the video or listen to the audio directly in the chat.

How to Record a Video Clip:

Go to the one-on-one or group chat you’d like to send the message to.
Select Record a video clip under the box where you type a message.
Select Record.
