The chain

Get the recording out of Microsoft Teams

Meeting recordings save to the organizer's OneDrive ('Recordings' folder) or the channel's SharePoint; download the MP4 from there. Tenant retention policies can auto-delete recordings — export before the policy window closes.

Speed it up without chipmunking

1.5-2× tempo with pitch preserved.

Then transcribe the keeper

If it's worth text, upload the original for the transcript.

What you end up with: A 60-minute listen in 35 — then text for the parts that matter.
