Allow Download by Default

If the group of people you are meeting with are a group that you regularly collaborate with, the solution is to create a team in Microsoft Teams. Then setup a channel that you use for meetings there. When you create a meeting, make it a channel meeting by inviting the channel to the meeting. All the members of the team already have edit rights to anything in the team and the recording will be saved to the team in a folder called Recordings.

If the users would like to receive an email when the recording is there or that alerts them to it, then they can always set an alert on that folder in the document library where the video files are stored. They can choose on their alert settings how often they want to receive an email when a file is added to that folder.

If you are talking about random meetings, this method will not work. I just find that rarely do I need to share meeting recordings with people who I am not working on a project with or doing work where we are collaborating in general and we are in a team in Teams anyway.

I believe this feedback would be best to the Teams team. The suggestion could be a new Teams policy to change the default permissions of meeting recordings for organizations that don’t need as strict defaults.

I found this item that is close but isn’t very descriptive on it being a new policy.

Automatically being downloadable and automatically emailing everyone are not part of the default product set for Teams Meeting Recordings. The video owner needs to share (with block download off) to those attendees.

At least with Stream (on SharePoint) you can share the video with external accounts. That was never possible in Stream (Classic).
