Breakout rooms recording
Tikkacat Not sure if this is your issue but it is worth noting that even if your "main / parent" meeting was based in a Channel, the breakout recording does not go there. So if by "chat" you meant channel chat I'm not surprised you cannot find it.
My experience has been that instead it's location follows that of the recording initiator.
If the recording initiator is still using the MS Stream recording policy (and has permissions to upload to MS Stream) then that is where it goes. But by default the entire MS Team does not get permission, like it would for a normal channel meeting. It's the recording initiator, members of the breakout space and the meeting organiser. But people in other breakout rooms would not get access.
If the recording initiator is using the new OneDriveforBusiness recording policy then it goes into the "initiators" OneDrive / Recordings folder. Not the MS Teams files area like it would for a normal channel meeting. Again permissions are granted to the breakout room and meeting organiser, but not the wider MS Team members.
So basically you could have 10 breakout sessions and 1 parent all being recorded, but the actual recordings stored in 11 different folder locations. (Assuming worst case of each breakout rooms recording being initiated by a different person).
Whilst possibly not pragmatic it may be better to try and encourage the "right" people to be initiators of the recordings.
The fact that you can even record breakout spaces in the first place is one up from other popular providers, but I can see scenarios where issues could arise. Perhaps compounded with OneDriveforBusiness + captioning where the indication is that if the file is moved it may break the captioning. So relocation of breakout recordings back into the MS Team may be an option but not without downsides.
