Here's the short video that shows you how to set students to attendees so they do not have any presenter rights: https://youtu.be/WDU9ezNAipw

How to record your Teams Meetings: https://youtu.be/v8AeepVLzrI

FYI: The recording automatically saves to Microsoft Stream. Each Team has a Stream channel - this was created when you created the Team.  You can find this on the Stream app on your main Microsoft 365 dashboard. If you don't see the icon, click All Apps.  I'll be sending more information about Stream after Spring Break.
