- Microsoft Teams allows users to delete meeting-generated content
- Organizers can delete call recordings and transcripts, as well as AI-generated summaries and notes
- However, shared files cannot be deleted, so be on your best behavior
If you’ve ever made an embarrassing mistake or misspoke in a meeting and are worried about AI tools recording everything, fear not – a new Microsoft Teams update is set to make it all easier to quickly forget.
The online collaboration platform is working on a new feature that allows users to quickly delete content generated in a meeting, meaning your mistakes can be easily erased from memory.
The tool will allow meeting organizers to delete content such as call recordings and transcripts, as well as AI-generated summaries and notes, allowing for an easy exit.
Deleting Microsoft Teams Content
In a Microsoft 365 roadmap post announcing the news, the company notes that the feature will be available via a new delete button included on the summary page generated after a meeting ends.
The tool is listed as currently under development, but has an expected release date of April 2026, so users shouldn’t have too long to wait.
After the release, Microsoft says the feature will initially be generally available to Teams users on Windows worldwide.
The launch will be the latest in a series of recent releases aimed at making Microsoft Teams users more productive when using the service.
This includes adding the ability for users to save messages in their conversations and chats, meaning users no longer have to manually trawl back through long conversations to find the message they need.
The company also revealed configurable keyboard shortcuts that are finally coming to Microsoft Teams soon, giving users quick and easy access to the symbols, icons and others they may use regularly on a daily basis but sometimes aren’t close at hand when typing in a work environment.
