Changes to Microsoft Teams recordings

Thursday, September 2, 2021

What is happening? Teams meeting recordings will now be stored in your OneDrive for Business account or the SharePoint site connected to your Microsoft Team instead of being stored in Microsoft Stream by default.

What does this mean for you?

  • Starting and stopping recordings: Starting and stopping a recording in Teams will remain the same.
  • Accessing old recordings (recorded before September 1, 2021): Recordings from before September 1 will not be affected and will remain available in Stream.
  • Accessing new recordings (recorded on or after September 1, 2021):
    • Channel meeting recordings will be stored in the Teams channel’s Files tab in the ‘Recordings’ folder. All members of the Team will have access to channel recordings.
    • Non-channel meetings will be stored in the OneDrive for Business account of the user who started the recording in the ‘Recordings’ folder. The recording will automatically be shared with all UW participants of the meeting. For external meeting participants, a link to the recording must be manually shared with them.
