How to teams transcript generator
- 1
Download your Teams recording as an MP4
In Microsoft Teams, find the meeting in the chat or channel history and click the three-dot menu on the recording thumbnail to download it as an MP4. If the recording was saved to SharePoint or OneDrive, download it from there directly. The file you upload to CentClip is just the standard meeting video - no special export settings required.

Upload and choose the spoken language
Drag your MP4 onto the CentClip upload area or click to browse - no account or login is needed. Select the language the meeting was conducted in from the 50+ supported options. CentClip transcribes the spoken audio directly and does not translate, so matching the language to the recording is the single most important accuracy setting.

Download your transcript, subtitle file, or captioned video
When processing finishes, choose your output: a plain text transcript for meeting notes or documentation, an SRT or VTT file to attach to the recording in SharePoint, Stream, or a video editor, or an MP4 with burned-in captions. All formats are available at the same 5-cents-per-minute rate, and your first 5 minutes are free.
Why choose CentClip for Microsoft Teams?
Teams' built-in transcript stays locked in the Teams portal - this gets it out
Even when Teams transcription is enabled under Microsoft 365 Business Standard or above, the output is a text overlay tied to the recording inside the Teams interface. You cannot export it as a standalone SRT, VTT, or plain text file without manual copying and reformatting. CentClip processes the same MP4 and produces portable files you can share, attach to tickets, or archive in any system. If your account does not have transcription enabled at all, CentClip works regardless of your Microsoft 365 license tier.
A plain text transcript turns a video file into something you can actually search
Teams recordings saved to SharePoint are effectively opaque - finding a specific decision or commitment means scrubbing through the video manually. A plain text transcript from CentClip can be searched with Ctrl-F, pasted into meeting notes, or used as input for an action-item extraction tool. That one conversion changes a recording from a passive archive into active reference material. CentClip supports over 50 languages, so multilingual teams get the same searchable output regardless of which language the meeting was conducted in.
Pay per recording, not per seat - and credits carry over indefinitely
Transcription tools priced per seat or per month create fixed overhead that does not scale down during quiet periods. A team that transcribes quarterly all-hands sessions and occasional client debriefs pays full price every month regardless of usage. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no subscription, so a 60-minute recording costs $3.00 and idle months cost nothing. Credits never expire, which means you can buy a block before a heavy recording period and use the balance months later without penalty.
FAQ
How accurate is the Teams Transcript Generator for meeting recordings?
Accuracy is high for recordings with clear audio - standard Teams meeting audio with one or two primary speakers produces clean output. Recordings with heavy crosstalk, low microphone quality, or strong regional accents may need a few corrections, which you can make in the built-in editor before downloading.
Is there a free trial for transcribing a Teams recording?
Yes - your first 5 minutes are free with no account or credit card required. After that, transcription costs 5 cents per minute with no subscription and no minimum purchase.
What file does Teams produce, and what formats does CentClip output?
Teams exports meeting recordings as MP4 files, which CentClip accepts directly. Outputs include a plain text transcript, SRT and VTT subtitle files, and an MP4 with burned-in captions - all at the same per-minute rate.
Do CentClip credits expire between transcription jobs?
No. Credits never expire - buy them when you have a batch of recordings to transcribe and use the remainder at any pace, with no billing cycle reset and no subscription to cancel.
