Who can present
Select “Organisers and Co-organisers” if that has been setup, otherwise select “Specific people” and manually add the names.

Setting Recording and Transcription options
Who can record and transcribe
If “Record and transcribe automatically” has been selected, this setting will be unavailable and it will be locked with “Organisers, Co-organisers and Presenters” selected. In this case, the access to recording and transcript is still set below.
To enable manual action to Record and Transcribe, turn off automatic recording and select “Organisers and C0-organisers” or select “Specific People”
Who has access to recording and transcript
Select “Organisers and Co-organisers” if that has been setup, otherwise select “Specific people” and manually add the names.

To allow a non Organiser to present during the meeting
During the meeting, click People to open the list of participants and click the ellipsis (…) alongside the name and select “Make presenter”.
This will allow them to click the “Share” button in their Teams window.
