Meeting Storage and Access

Microsoft Teams has a new method for saving meeting recordings. As the first phase of a transition from Microsoft Stream (Classic) to the new Microsoft Stream, this method stores recordings on Microsoft OneDrive for Business and SharePoint in Microsoft 365. This method offers many benefits. Videos in Microsoft Teams will consume the existing file storage quota from OneDrive and SharePoint.

The table below details permissions and role-based access for different meetings and recordings, including where the recording is stored and who has access to the recording.
