Service Notice: Teams Meeting Recording Storage Change

Microsoft has introduced some recent changes to Teams Meeting Recordings: storage location, permissions, and retention periods.

Some benefits of using OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online for storing Teams meeting recordings include:

  • Increased storage space
  • Easy to set permissions and sharing
  • Share recordings with guests (external users), with explicit share only
  • More intelligent transcription
  • Meeting recordings are available faster
  • Ability to set and change retention periods

What does this mean for you?

For Teams meeting recordings stored in OneDrive:

  • Meetings created in your calendar or chat without reference to a specific Teams channel.
  • People invited to the meeting can view the video recording by clicking on the chat history of the meeting in Teams.
  • Recording owners can access the recording in their OneDrive > Recordings folder.
  • Person(s) who clicks record / schedules the meeting (editor) can edit the video recording and give access to external invites.
  • External invites have no access to the recording. They can make a request to the editor(s) who can then share the recording on OneDrive / SharePoint like any other file.

For Teams meeting recordings stored in SharePoint:

  • Meetings created in your calendar or chat with reference and invitations to a specific Teams channel.
  • Teams members invited can view the recording by clicking on the chat history of the meeting in Teams.
  • Teams members can also access the recording in the Recordings > View Only folder on the Teams Channel under the Files tab or in SharePoint documents.
  • The member who clicked on Start recording has edit rights to the recording
  • Other members’ permissions are able to view but not download or share.

Previous Teams Recordings:

  • There is no change to Teams Meeting Recordings created before 2021 May 31. They are still accessible on MS Stream.

Retention Periods:

  • Effective 2021 Sept 1, Teams meetings recordings will be stored for 250 days at which time they will be automatically moved to the recycle bin.
  • The owner can change the expiration date of individual files.
  • This will not impact any existing meeting recordings created before September 1.
  • More information on this feature will be provided in the upcoming weeks.
