MS Teams Recordings FAQ My recording has the video feeds of the other participants. Can I change that? Unfortunately, when Microsoft Teams records a meeting, it includes the video panels in the recording. There is no way to change this. To correct it, however, we suggest using editing software such as Clipchamp or Camtasia to crop the recording. We recommend Clipchamp because it is a web-based editor, meaning no downloading and uploading large files. Also, it can be accessed directly above the meeting recording with the Clipchamp button in the Stream viewer. Do meeting recordings expire in Microsoft Teams? Yes, after 60 days unless the organizer extends or removes the expiration date. Learn how to extend or cancel the expiration date of a Microsoft Teams recording. When a recording expires, the owner will get an email. At that point, they'll have up to 90 days to recover it from their OneDrive recycle bin online. Once recovered, the recording will no longer expire automatically. Who can start or stop a recording? By default, for regularly scheduled meetings, anyone in the meeting can start or stop a recording in MS Teams. You can change this by changing the "Who can present" meeting option to "Organizers and Co-organizers" or another option.

The organizer is the person who scheduled the meeting, and the recording will be stored in their OneDrive in a folder called "Recordings." This applies even if the meeting was set to record automatically and the organizer is not present at the meeting. How do I know when a meeting is being recorded? When a meeting recording starts, MS Teams shows a notification to all participants on the desktop, web, and mobile apps, as well as to people who dialed in via phone. Additionally, the recording symbol can be found within the meeting window. Can participants download a meeting recording?
