You can easily record and share short video clips directly within your Microsoft Teams one-on-one or group chats to convey messages quickly and personally.
Recording a Video Clip in Teams Chats
Microsoft Teams provides a straightforward way to record brief video messages, often referred to as video clips, right within your chat conversations. This feature is perfect for delivering quick updates, demonstrating something visually, or adding a personal touch to your text-based communications without needing to schedule a full meeting.
Step-by-Step Guide to Recording a Video Clip
Follow these simple steps to record and share your video messages in Microsoft Teams:
- Navigate to a Chat: Begin by opening any one-on-one or group chat where you wish to send your video clip.
- Initiate Recording: Look for the message compose box and select the "Record a video clip" option. This icon typically resembles a video camera or film reel.
- Start Recording: To begin capturing your video, select the white circle button that appears. Your camera will activate, and recording will commence.
- Review Your Clip: Once you've finished recording your message, click the Review button. This will allow you to preview your video before sending it.
- Trim (Optional): If needed, you can refine your video clip. Utilize the sliders in the editing tool to trim the beginning or end of your video, ensuring it's concise and to the point.
Once you're satisfied with your video clip, you can send it directly into the chat. The recipient(s) can then play it back at their convenience.

- Personal Touch: Add a human element to your digital conversations.
- Clarity: Explain complex ideas or demonstrate processes visually.
