Changes to meeting recordings - saved to OneDrive and SharePoint instead of Stream.
EmileRec Hello! I haven't had a chance to try this so I can't say anything about the inheritance and if they can actually delete the recording. But it's a good question and the official docs aren't clear about it.
In your scenario you're using a channel meeting and permissions are inherited from the owners and members list in the channel as per this description.
Who has the permissions to view the meeting recording?
- For non-Channel meetings, all meeting invitees, except for external users, will automatically get a personally shared link. External users will need to be explicitly added to the shared list by the meeting organizer or the person who started the meeting recording.
- For Channel meetings, permissions are inherited from the owners and members list in the channel.

Then you have a couple of disclaimers saying:
- "Only the organizer of the meeting (non-channel) and the person who started the recording will be able to edit the recording. But everyone invited to the meeting will be able to view the recording."
- "In Q1 of 2021, only the meeting recorder and organizer will be able to download the meeting recording. All other attendees will only be able to view it."

So I suppose you have to edit the permissions when recording a channel meeting (SharePoint) as the permissions are inherited. At least for now.
ChristianBergstrom Currently, we only allow specific people to record meetings via Teams policy. However, we do not want them to automatically save to the cloud, so we disable Stream, which forces the user to download the recording locally. Since we cannot disable Sharepoint and OneDrive, is there going to be a way to prevent recordings from being saved to the cloud and continue to force users to download them?
Hello, as I understand it you’re already controlling this as you’re using policies for who’s allowed to record. But why would you like to prevent the automatic cloud storage in OneDrive/SharePoint? From my experience people will find other ways to share, such as third-party storage providers (if not disabled or by using sensitivity labels etc).
When you opt-in, or later being switched automatically, to the new storage location you’ll end up with the options and permissions as described in the docs (see below).
Azure Media Services will still be used for the recordings and will be uploaded to OneDrive/SharePoint if possible. If not, due to license for ex. the recordings will be downloadable from Azure, as in your current scenario.
For reference.
