[What and Why]

The Recap app in Microsoft Teams provides a centralized experience for users to find, review, and catch up on meeting recaps. By bringing recordings, transcripts, and AI-powered summaries together, this feature improves personal productivity and helps users quickly stay informed across meetings.

Quick filters help users find the right meetings faster, while audio recap capabilities enable efficient review of multiple meetings in a podcast-style format. Users can also browse and revisit meeting recaps from the past 30 days, making it easier to stay up to date.
