How to add captions to teams recording
- 1
Upload your Teams recording
Download your meeting recording as an MP4 from Teams or SharePoint, then drag it into CentClip - no account or login needed to start. Your first 5 minutes are processed free, so short stand-ups or highlights cost nothing at all. For longer meetings, you pay 5 cents per minute only for what you caption.

Choose your language and review the captions
Select the language spoken in your recording from 50+ supported languages - CentClip transcribes the audio directly and does not translate, so matching the language to what was recorded gives you the most accurate result. A simple editor lets you fix speaker names, acronyms, or product terms before exporting. Changes save instantly without re-processing the file.

Download captions or export a captioned video
Export a burned-in MP4 with captions permanently embedded so they appear on any device or platform without requiring a caption track to be loaded separately. Or download an SRT or VTT file to attach to the recording in SharePoint, Microsoft Stream, or your LMS. A plain text transcript is also available at no extra cost if you need a written record for meeting notes or compliance archives.
Why choose CentClip for Microsoft Teams?
Teams auto-transcription requires a premium license and stays locked inside Microsoft 365
Teams' built-in transcription is gated behind Microsoft 365 Business Standard and above, and the output lives inside the Teams interface rather than as a portable file you can share freely. Recordings sent to contractors, clients, new hires, or partners outside your Microsoft tenant arrive without any captions attached. CentClip produces SRT, VTT, and burned-in MP4 files that travel with the video wherever it goes. You get accessible captions regardless of what tools the viewer is using.
Pay per recording, not per month
Most transcription tools charge a flat monthly fee whether your team captions one meeting or forty. Teams that caption recordings in bursts - quarterly all-hands sessions, product launch debriefs, compliance reviews - end up paying for months where they barely use the service. CentClip charges 5 cents per minute with no recurring fee, so a 60-minute all-hands meeting costs $3.00 and an idle month costs nothing. Credits never expire, which means you can stock up before a heavy recording period and use the remainder whenever you need it.
Accurate captions matter more when recordings go to a wider audience
Teams recordings often carry technical vocabulary, product names, multiple speakers, and non-native English - conditions where generic auto-captioning produces errors that look careless when shared externally. CentClip supports 50+ languages, so global teams can caption in the language the meeting was conducted in rather than forcing everything through English. The built-in editor lets you clean up anything the transcriber misses before the file leaves your hands. Recordings shared with hearing-impaired colleagues or international teams especially benefit from captions that have been reviewed rather than published raw.
FAQ
How accurate are captions generated from a Microsoft Teams recording?
CentClip performs well on standard Teams meeting audio and handles multi-speaker conversations reliably. Recordings with clear audio and a dominant primary speaker produce the cleanest results - heavy crosstalk or low-quality microphone input may need a few corrections in the built-in editor.
Is there a free trial for captioning a Teams recording?
Yes - your first 5 minutes are free with no account or credit card needed. After that, captions cost 5 cents per minute with no subscription required.
What file formats does CentClip accept and export for Teams recordings?
CentClip accepts the MP4 files that Teams and SharePoint produce when you download a meeting recording. It exports a burned-in MP4, SRT, VTT, and a plain text transcript - all included at no extra cost.
Do my credits expire if I don't caption recordings straight away?
No. CentClip credits never expire - buy them when you have recordings to process and use the remainder any time, with no monthly reset or subscription to cancel.
