Cloud recording should be implemented across the board, regardless of platform. Recording meetings locally on my PC is not an ideal scenario, as I end up with huge files which need to be uploaded or sent by email. It adds up, when you have a lot of meetings. So - implementing local recording for Skype for Business on Mac is a dead end, in my opinion - I'm glad they have shelved it and moved instead towards recording to the cloud independent of platform (this should also be available on Android and iOS), if you're correct that this is the real roadmap.

Hit the REC button in the Screen Recorder interface to start recording your call. If you want to pause the capture at any time, press ⌥ ⌘ 1 on your keyboard. To stop the capture, press ⌥ ⌘ 2. To manage Skype video calls recording on your Mac, you can also use buttons in the call recorder control panel. Skype for Business on Mac is the all new client that provides great communication experiences for Apple users. Office for mac apps make my computer slow. Features like one-click join, edge-to-edge video, and full screen sharing give you a superior Skype Meetings experience. Re: Record Meeting and Powerpoint Does your organization use Skype for Business Online or SfB 2015 (on-premises) server? If you are Online, this could be an issue with VBSS (video-based screen sharing) vs RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol).
