Teams' built-in recording is gated behind a paid Microsoft 365 license and your admin's policy, and its AI notes cost extra on top. Wave records any Teams meeting — from Chrome, the desktop app, or an AI notetaker bot — and turns it into a speaker-labeled transcript with an AI summary.
The native record button only appears if you have a qualifying paid Microsoft 365 or Office 365 license and your IT admin has cloud recording switched on. Guests and people joining from another organization can't record a meeting at all, and the free version of Teams generally can't either. Wave works no matter your license or who's hosting.
Teams' Intelligent Recap — the AI summary, action items, and key topics — requires a separate Teams Premium add-on or a Microsoft 365 Copilot license on top of your base plan. Without one, you're back to a raw recording. Wave includes the AI summary on every plan.
A native Teams recording lands as a video in the organizer's OneDrive or a channel's SharePoint site — permission-restricted, and sometimes auto-deleted by a retention policy before you need it. Finding one decision means scrubbing an hour of footage. Wave gives you a searchable transcript and summary you actually own.
Record Teams in the browser directly. Wave's Chrome extension captures the meeting tab audio and your microphone with one click — no bot in the participant list, no paid license, and no waiting on an admin to enable recording.
Connect your Outlook or Google calendar and Wave sends an AI notetaker to your Teams meetings. It joins as a visible participant, records video and audio, and delivers the transcript and summary automatically — no remembering to hit record.
Prefer the Teams desktop app to the browser? Wave Desktop for Mac and Windows captures your microphone and system audio at the same time, so it records the Teams client — or any other app — with nothing joining the call.
Every Teams recording becomes a full transcript with automatic speaker labels and timestamps — know exactly who said what, and jump straight to the moment you need instead of rewatching the video.
Key decisions, action items, and follow-ups extracted automatically after the meeting ends, with no Teams Premium or Copilot license required. Paste it into Teams chat, email, or your docs instead of writing notes from memory.
All your Teams recordings live in one searchable place, transcript and summary attached. Find any detail from any meeting by keyword — even months after the OneDrive copy would have expired.
Record any Google Meet — even without Workspace admin rights. Wave captures the meeting via Chrome extension or AI bot and delivers a speaker-labeled transcript and summary.
Record any Zoom meeting — with or without host permission, no bot required. Wave captures the call via desktop app, Chrome extension, or AI notetaker and delivers a speaker-labeled transcript and AI summary.
Wave Desktop records your meetings in the background — no bot in the participant list, no 'Notetaker has joined' moment. Full transcripts and AI summaries, on any platform.
