In Microsoft Teams, users can record their Teams meetings and group calls to capture audio, video, and screen sharing activity. There is also an option for recordings to have automatic transcription, so that users can play back meeting recordings with closed captions and search for important discussion items in the transcript. The recording happens in the cloud and is saved to Microsoft Stream, so users can share it securely across their organization. Related: Teams meeting recording end user documentation

TEAMS Sign in process flow

TEAMS Sign in process flow to identity what's expected and act accordingly. In this article, we will focus mainly on TEAMS Client login.

How does Sign IN work?

The client reaches teams.skype.com and start the bootstrap. Under JSON we should be able to view all features are enabled or not enabled:

· The page teams.microsoft.com will present a sign in page with a frame from login.microsoftonline.com and follow an OAUTH authentication.

· https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/userrealm/ - will return where the OAUTH auth will happen.

· A token will be generated and the client and can be verified on the 302 message from login.microsoftonline.com:

· Token expires_in=3599 (1h)

· From this point the client execute all the requests with the access token on the HTTP header:

How does the client identify where to register?

· The client will always attempt to register to teams.microsoft.com that is the URL of the service.

· Once registered, the client will POST to api.teams.skype.com that will reply with a JSON with the services the client have to register:

· Client do authenticated requests to the ams, chat service, middleTier, msImageService and search services on respective geographical region.

How does Sign IN work in SSO?

Web logs

· Press (CTRL+ALT+SHFT+1) in client to download logs (Electron Logs)
Note - be sure to use the 1 on top of keyboard and not 1 from number pad as that maps to a different key

· %downloads%\MSTeams Diagnostics Log <timestamp>.txt

Desktop logs

· %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams\logs.txt

Contains framework and bootstrapping info

App Bootstrap process

Plugin initialization

Update Management

Some SSO info when using SSO builds (Desktop Auth)

Microsoft Teams logging details

There are three types of log files automatically produced by the client that can be leveraged to assist in troubleshooting Microsoft Teams.

· Desktop logs

· Debug logs

· Media logs

Desktop logs

Desktop logs, also known as bootstrapper logs, contains log data that occurs between the desktop client and the browser.

%appdata%\Microsoft\Teams\

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams

To open the client log (logs.txt in the Teams cache), click the Teams icon in the system tray and then Get Logs from the menu. Notepad loads the file and you can browse it to your heart’s content before giving up and sending it to Microsoft.

Windows:

1. Right-click the Microsoft Teams icon in your application tray, select Get Logs

Diagnostic Log

The CTRL-Shift-Alt-1 key combination generates a diagnostic log file on Windows workstations, while Command + Option + Shift + 1 generates the file on a Mac. Teams creates the diagnostics log in the Downloads folder on the workstation and creates a name by combining MSTeams Diagnostics Log with the current timestamp.

%downloads%\MSTeams Diagnostics Log <timestamp>.txt

Debug logs show the following data flows:

· Login

· Connection requests to middle tier services

· Call/conversation

Media Logs

Media logs contain diagnostic data about audio, video and screen sharing. They are required for support cases only upon request and can only be inspected by Microsoft. The following table outlines the log location.
