Teams transcription, without a license.

Teams hides transcription behind the Premium SKU. Notabium gives it back, no extra license - record from your browser or send the Notabium Notetaker.

Teams transcription costs money you don't want to pay

Teams has live transcription, but it is locked behind Microsoft 365 plans that include "Teams Premium." Most companies do not buy that. Most individuals cannot. The result: hour after hour of Teams calls disappear with nothing written down.

Even when you have the right license, Teams stores the transcript in your tenant. Switching jobs? You lose it. Want to share with a client? Awkward. Want it in your own account, not your employer's? Impossible.

Notabium fixes this on your side

Start your trial and add the browser extension. Join your Teams call and click Record - or send the Notabium Notetaker when you cannot attend. Transcription and AI summaries (ElevenLabs Scribe and Claude) land in your library, scoped to your account. No Microsoft license, no admin, and the transcript is yours.

What works and what to watch for

Works with Teams on the web. Open your call in the browser and the Notabium extension captures both sides of the conversation.
Works for guests and external participants. Many transcription services require host or organisation level permissions. Notabium does not.
The notetaker for calls you cannot attend. Send the Notabium Notetaker to join the meeting, announce that it is recording, and deliver the transcript afterwards.
Multiple speakers labelled. Notabium diarises the audio. You will see "Speaker 1", "Speaker 2", and so on. Rename them in the app after the call.

FAQ

Do I need to be the meeting organiser?

No. You record the call yourself from the browser, so any participant can capture it - just make sure everyone knows it is being recorded.

Does it work in any browser?

Notabium records Teams calls opened on the web through the Chrome and Edge extension. Or send the Notabium Notetaker to join the call when you cannot attend.

What about Microsoft's "Recording" notification?

Teams' own banner fires only when someone uses Teams' built-in recording. When you record with Notabium, you are responsible for the disclosure - and we recommend you make it. The Notabium Notetaker goes a step further and announces that the call is being recorded when it joins.
