Teams already records your meetings and, with the right licence, it recaps them too. So where does Dailies fit? At the other end of the call. Teams’ recording and recap look inwards: a video in OneDrive or SharePoint, AI notes, tasks, chapters, and a narrated video recap for people who need to catch up. Dailies looks outwards: it records the call in Chrome and delivers up to eight captioned vertical shorts, made to be posted on LinkedIn, TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Dailies works on Microsoft Teams calls, so nothing on this page argues against Teams. It compares two things you can make out of a meeting.

Dailies
For people who want to post the best passages of their calls as captioned vertical shorts, without filming or editing anything.
Microsoft Teams Recording
For people inside a Microsoft 365 organisation who need a record of a Teams meeting and a recap of it: notes, tasks, chapters.

Recording is built into Microsoft Teams. Starting one requires one of the Microsoft 365 licences Microsoft lists and recording enabled by an IT admin; a guest or external participant cannot start it. It captures audio, video and screen sharing, with no more than four people’s video streams at once, and every participant is notified in their Teams app as soon as it starts. The file is stored in OneDrive or SharePoint, subject to the expiry policies the admin sets, and plays in Microsoft’s video player, where a trim can hide up to five parts from viewers without rendering a new video. With Teams Premium or a Microsoft Copilot licence, intelligent recap adds AI notes, follow-up tasks, chapters and topics, in the languages Microsoft lists, French included. Its Video recap is a narrated summary with short clips of the meeting’s important moments, for meetings of at least 10 minutes that were recorded and transcribed. During the call, Teams can blur your background or replace it with an image.
Teams’ Video recap picks important moments by itself and strings them into a narrated summary, watched in the Teams desktop and mobile apps. It serves people who had a seat in the meeting and missed it. Microsoft’s pages mention no vertical format, no burned-in captions and no export for social networks. A Dailies short is made for strangers scrolling a feed: vertical, captioned, with a line above it that says which question it answers.
Teams’ recording captures the meeting’s audio, video and screen sharing, with at most four people’s video streams at once, in one file. Dailies records the call tab and, apart from it, your microphone and your webcam. In a short, that lets it show you full screen when you speak, and your guest, cropped on their face out of their tile, when they answer.
Teams’ recording covers Teams meetings. Dailies is a Chrome extension that records Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom’s web client the same way, with no bot joining the call. One thing to know: Dailies records the calls you hold in Chrome, which for Teams means Teams in the browser.
Teams keeps the whole meeting on file in OneDrive or SharePoint and, with Teams Premium or Copilot, writes its recap: AI notes, follow-up tasks, chapters and topics. Dailies writes none of that, and it only works on the calls it recorded itself. For a record of what was said and who has to do what, the recap is the right tool; Dailies is for what you want to show outside.
Partly. With Teams Premium or a Microsoft Copilot licence, Video recap builds a narrated summary with short clips of a meeting’s important moments, watched in the Teams apps. Microsoft’s pages mention no vertical format, no burned-in captions and no export for social networks. Dailies delivers up to eight separate vertical shorts per call, captioned and ready to download.
In OneDrive or SharePoint, according to Microsoft, subject to the expiry policies set by the organisation’s admin. Dailies’ shorts, for their part, are downloaded in Full HD, to post them yourself on LinkedIn, TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
Not into a new video, according to Microsoft’s page: the trim in its player hides parts of the recording from viewers, five at most, without rendering a new file. To post a passage, you would cut it in another tool. Dailies cuts the passages itself and removes their silences, filler words and false starts.
No. Teams keeps the meeting and recaps it for the people concerned. Dailies writes no notes, no summary and no action items; it makes shorts from the best passages. These are two different needs.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
