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.

    Absolutely want Teams Admin to be able to have transcription turned on by default (and then maybe allow users to turn off if they want). PLEASE ACTIVATE THIS ABILITY TO TURN ON BY DEFAULT!

    And for v2... can we also turn on automatic CoPilot transcript/recap send to the meeting organizer?

    Following this as well. It would be nice to enable auto-transcription via a policy for specific users. Some may want the entire company, but for me, specific people could have it, while for legal reasons, others may not. Seems like a no-brainer of a feature to add along with transcription retention policies.

    Following for the same thing. Auto start for our leadership is a must.

    Seems like they would make this flexibility available under the Admin Center Teams/Policies. Hoping that's the way to do it, ad that makes it easy for MS to make this happen asap (turned off by default, admin needs to affirmatively activate).

    Related: one of our users reported that they saw some kind of alert that transcription is on by default. The user is pretty unspecific so I don't know what that was... does anyone know what that might've been?

    Hi there, our company is also trying to leverage CoPilot and are trying to turn transcription on as a company policy. This would be very helpful for our company. As a step in the right direction, is there an ability to turn on this setting at the individual user setting? Similar to how a user would be able to set 'Make this a Teams meeting' as a default when they schedule a meeting, is there a place we can check a box to make all meetings a user schedules has transcription turned on? The ability to turn on globally would be preferable :)
