Need help with auto recording enable in events API

Hello @Tushar Bhadak,

I understand that you want to enable auto recording enable in Events API.

When you create meeting using /me/events this uses Outlook Calendar API, not the Teams Online Meeting API directly. Hence you cannot set auto record for Events.

• Microsoft Graph Events API (/users/{id}/events) is designed to create Outlook calendar events, not Teams meetings.

Hence if you want to make use of recordAutomatically, then,

• You need to create event (me/events) by passing "isOnlineMeeting": true and

"onlineMeetingProvider": "teamsForBusiness" in the request body.

• Otherwise, directly create Online meeting by using /me/onlineMeetings instead of me/events

Workaround 1: Create an event by passing "isOnlineMeeting": true and

"onlineMeetingProvider": "teamsForBusiness" in the request body like below:

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/events

{

"subject": "Plan summer company picnic",

"body": {

"contentType": "HTML",

"content": "Let's kick-start this event planning!"

},

"start": {

"dateTime": "2025-08-30T11:00:00",

"timeZone": "Pacific Standard Time"

},

"end": {

"dateTime": "2025-08-30T12:00:00",

"timeZone": "Pacific Standard Time"

},

"attendees": [

{

"emailAddress": {

"address": "******@xxx.onmicrosoft.com",

"name": "Dana Swope"

},

"type": "Required"

},

{

"emailAddress": {

"address": "******@xxx.onmicrosoft.com",

"name": "Alex Wilber"

},

"type": "Required"

}

],

"location": {

"displayName": "Conf Room 3; Fourth Coffee; Home Office",

"locationType": "Default"

},

"locations": [

{

"displayName": "Conf Room 3"

},

{

"displayName": "Fourth Coffee",

"address": {

"street": "4567 Main St",

"city": "Redmond",

"state": "WA",

"countryOrRegion": "US",

"postalCode": "32008"

},

"coordinates": {

"latitude": 47.672,

"longitude": -102.103

}

},

{

"displayName": "Home Office"

}

],

"allowNewTimeProposals": true,

"isOnlineMeeting": true,

"onlineMeetingProvider": "teamsForBusiness"

}

Now, To get the meeting ID, pass the Join URL from the POST output response:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onlineMeetings?$filter=joinWebUrl%20eq%20'joinUrlfromtheaboveresponse'

Update the meeting by setting "recordAutomatically": true

PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onlineMeetings/MeetingID

{

"recordAutomatically": true

}

Workaround 2: Otherwise directly create online meeting and set "recordAutomatically": true. Refer this MsDoc
