Transcribe Microsoft Stream recordings straight from the downloaded MP4.
A Teams meeting recording kept in Microsoft Stream sits as an MP4 in OneDrive or SharePoint; download it and upload it here, and a 2.5-hour meeting comes back in about 5 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and those 150 minutes take up part of the $6 pack of 500, leaving 350.
From Stream to a document
The recording is in Stream. The minutes are still on someone's to-do list.
Where the MP4 lives
Stream on SharePoint keeps a meeting recording as an MP4 in the organiser's OneDrive, or in the channel's SharePoint folder for a channel meeting. Open it in Stream or the file library and download it, if your permissions allow.
Five minutes for 2.5 hours
About 2 minutes per hour of audio means a 150-minute steering meeting is done in roughly 5 minutes. A 4-hour planning session takes about 8.
Upload on {upload_page}
A Teams MP4 of a few hours is usually well under 2 GB, the size that uploads before a pack. One file can be up to 10 hours or 5 GB, so the recording rarely needs cutting.
Minutes people will read
The brief gives the thesis and takeaways, chapters break the agenda into timestamped parts, and the questions the meeting answered are listed. Export DOCX for the minutes and VTT if the video stays in Stream.
What usually happens
A Stream link in the meeting chat is not the same as minutes.

FAQ
Microsoft Stream recordings, answered.
How quickly does a Stream recording come back?
Roughly 2 minutes for each hour of the MP4. A 2.5-hour meeting takes about 5 minutes, a 1-hour stand-up review about 2.
What does a 2.5-hour Stream recording cost?
150 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free for a first-time visitor and the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers the rest, leaving at least 350. A month of weekly meetings at that length is 600 minutes, which fits the $12 pack of 2,000.
Can I paste the Stream or SharePoint link?
No. Pasted links are fetched only from YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Kick, Google Drive and podcast feeds. A Stream recording is downloaded as an MP4 first and then uploaded; there is no Microsoft integration and no bot in the meeting.
What if I cannot download the recording?
Download rights in Stream follow the file's permissions in OneDrive or SharePoint. Ask the meeting organiser or the site owner to share a downloadable copy; WhipScribe can only work on a file you are allowed to have.
How big can one file be?
A Stream MP4 can run to 10 hours or 5 GB, whichever it reaches first. Before the first pack, uploads up to 2 GB go through; a larger MP4 starts once a pack is on the account.
Which languages and exports does a Stream recording get?
99 languages are detected automatically, so a meeting in Swedish, Hebrew or Portuguese needs no setting. The Stream meeting exports as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
