> ## Is Microsoft Teams recording enough?
>
> Microsoft Teams can record a call when someone remembers to press record. Argus Archive records every call by itself and keeps them all in one place.

>
> ### Which Microsoft 365 licenses do we need?
> Microsoft 365 Business Standard and Business Premium both work, along with the other licenses Microsoft lists as eligible.
>
> [Microsoft's license list](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-recording-compliance)
>
> ### How much does it cost?
> Argus Archive is priced per user, per month, with usage included, and you're warned before you go over.
>
> [See pricing](/pricing/)
>
> ### Do we need an IT team?
> No. There are no servers to install. Whoever manages your Microsoft 365 signs in with their work account, and Argus guides them through turning on Microsoft Teams compliance recording.
>
> ### Can we record only some people?
> Yes. You choose which users and groups are recorded.
>
> ### Do we have to tell people they are recorded?
> In most places, yes. Microsoft Teams tells everyone on a recorded call that it is being recorded, and users cannot turn that off. Check the rules where you operate with your own advisers.
>
> ### Is it only for regulated firms?
> No. Most businesses record calls to settle disagreements, train new people and look after customers.
