Configuring Microsoft Teams Chat Recording
In order to complete the steps below, you must have System Administrator role in Verba.
The registration consists of the following steps:
Recording architecture
The following diagram shows the connections in a highly available Microsoft Teams IM recording environment.
When load-balancing is being used (N+1), the file queues have to be distributed between the (active or N) Media Recorders, so the "Number of Processing Queues Owned by Recorder Role" configuration will be the quantity of the file queues divided by the quantity of the (active or N) recorders.

Configuration
Prerequisites
Assigning a Public IP Address
For a single non-HA setup, the Recording Server (Recording Director) needs to have a public IP address. In the case of a highly-available setup, the public IP address has to be assigned to the loal-balacer.
Creating an App Registration in Azure
Before configuring the Verba Recording Server(s) for Microsoft Teams Chat recording, an App Registration has to be created in Azure. For the configuration steps, see:
Creating the File Queue folder
A root folder has to be created for the processing queues. In the case of a single-recorder setup, this folder can be created on the local disk of the server (recommended path: [APPLICAION_FOLDER]\media\processing_queue). In the case of a HA setup, the processing queue folder cannot be created on the local disk of the Recording Server. Instead, it has to be created on a seperate network location accessible from all servers.
Assigning Certificates
A publicly signed certificate is required. Only CSP certificates are supported (CNG/KSP certificates are not supported). The SAN configuration of the certificate must include the public address of the Recording Server, or the load-balancer in the case of multiple Recording Servers. Using asterisk in the SAN is accepted. The private key of the certificate has to be exportable.
Configuring a single-recorder setup
The configrauin steps of the single-recorder setup can be found here:
Configuring the Verba Unified IM Recorder Service for Microsoft Teams Chat Recording
Configuring a highly-available setup
The following configuration steps needs to be done when the Recording Director and the Media Recorder roles are separated:
Step 1 - Configuring the Verba Unified IM Recorder Service on the Recording Director Servers
Step 2 - Configuring the Verba Unified IM Recorder Service on the Media Recorder Servers
Co-located Recording Directors and Media Recorders in a highly available setup
Alternatively, the Recording Director and the Media Recorder servers can be co-located. In this case, do the single-recorder setup for each servers, but use the file queues on the network location instead of creating them on the local disks, and use the common certificate for the Teams connections.
