Microsoft 365 and Teams Redaction

A Teams recording is three redaction problems wearing one file extension:

• Spoken content — names, case details, health information, account numbers said aloud
• On-screen text — whatever was shared. A spreadsheet, a case file, a patient record, a dashboard
• Faces — participants, and anyone who walked past a camera

A SharePoint library or an Exchange PST export adds a fourth: the documents and attachments themselves, which is where most of the identifiable data usually sits.

Teams and Zoom recordings ingest automatically as they are produced. They transcribe and index on arrival, so a meeting becomes searchable material under retention rules rather than a file that expires in the meeting tool.

From there the redaction is the standard pipeline: transcript-driven for the spoken content, OCR for the on-screen text, object detection for faces, and document redaction for anything attached.

For SharePoint and Exchange the common pattern is API-driven — files are pulled, redacted and returned, with the output policy deciding whether the original survives.

The full integration catalog is maintained on vidizmo.ai/integrations, because most of these connectors are platform-level rather than specific to redaction.

• Redaction runs on the recording, not inside the meeting. This is post-hoc, not live.
• Ingest on a schedule means recordings arrive after the meeting, not during it.
• PII detection covers 10 languages. A meeting in a language outside that set still transcribes, and keyword and pattern search still work, but automatic PII detection does not apply.
