Can I enable automatic transcription for meetings via a policy?

I want to be able to enable automatic transcriptions on Microsoft Teams for a group of specific users in our organization.

The goal is to enable users with a Premium license to utilize the AI notes and transcription via a policy.

The issue is that users forget to start recording the meeting and forget to set up automatic recording in the meeting options prior.

I've tried creating a Meeting Template that will record meetings automatically which would work, except users have to remember to click that template when scheduling a meeting.

I feel like an option to "Automatically Record" and "Automatically Enable Transcription" would be beneficial to a lot of users.

That way we can just assign the policy globally or to a specific set of users.

If there is a way, I would love to learn more about it.

    Plus one. This seems like a classic case of market access failure here.

    Microsoft Teams has the supply—in this case, the technology and infrastructure to support automatic transcription and AI-driven notes, and there's clear demand from users like us who need these features seamlessly integrated into our workflows.

    However, the current system design introduces an unnecessary barrier by requiring users to manually initiate recordings. This prevents users from fully accessing and benefiting from the product's capabilities.

    By not enabling automatic transcription and recording as a policy-based feature, Microsoft is effectively restricting market access for users who already have the right licenses but lack a frictionless way to implement these tools. Enabling automatic recording and transcription globally or through a policy would eliminate this bottleneck and allow users to access the functionality they need with minimal hassle.

    Come on Microsoft, get your act together please!

    I agree! There needs to be an auto transcribe feature. I still don't see it.
