Why Transcribe Microsoft Teams Meetings from YouTube
Teams meeting recordings can run 30–90 minutes, making it hard to locate specific decisions or tasks.
Copying key passages from a transcript is far faster than scrubbing through video to find the right timestamp.
Sharing a text transcript alongside a recording gives latecomers a way to skim context before replying or acting on decisions.
YouTube's search doesn't index spoken words inside a video, so a recording is essentially a black box.
