How to Download a Microsoft Teams Recording

Are you looking for ways to download and save your Microsoft Teams recordings? This article will guide you through the process of accessing, downloading, and managing your meeting recordings.

Accessing a Meeting Recording

If you were part of a scheduled meeting, you can access the recording by going to the Details tab of the meeting event in your calendar. Select the recording option, and it will be available after the meeting was scheduled to end (not necessarily when it actually ends).

Playing and Sharing a Meeting Recording in Teams

You can watch and share a meeting recording in Teams without affecting the expiration date. Once recovered, the recording will no longer expire automatically. However, you have up to 90 days to recover it from the recycle bin.

Expiration of a Meeting Recording

The owner of the recording will receive an email notification when it expires. But don't worry - if you've selected No expiration, the recording won't expire. You'll still see a message indicating that your recording will expire in the chat even after removing the expiration date.

Managing Expiration of a Meeting Recording

Your admin's settings determine whether and when a recording will expire. However, this feature is only available to users who are not guests or from another organization and have one of the following licenses: Office 365 Enterprise E1, E3, E5, F3, A1, A3, A5, M365 Business, Business Premium, or Business Essentials.

Who Can Start or Stop a Recording?

Anyone who meets the following criteria can start or stop a recording, even if the meeting organizer isn't present:

* The meeting recording shows up in the meeting chat or channel conversation (if you're meeting in a channel).

* The recording is then processed and saved to SharePoint if it was a channel meeting or OneDrive if it was any other type of meeting.

* To stop recording, go to the meeting controls and click More actions (...) > Stop recording.

Tips for Downloading and Managing Your Meeting Recordings

* Make sure you have the necessary permissions to start or stop a recording.

* Be aware that the meeting notification is also posted to the chat history. Everyone in the meeting will be notified when the recording starts.

* Keep in mind that your admin's settings determine whether and when a recording will expire.

By following these steps, you can easily download and manage your Microsoft Teams recordings.
