Changes to meeting recordings - saved to OneDrive and SharePoint instead of Stream.
- Oct 05, 2020
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.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/tmr-meeting-recording-change#frequently-asked-questions
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.
One limitation of the feature is the "ability to block download of the video by meeting participants". Should I read this the same as not being able to avoid that the meeting recording is published in the meeting chat?
I had a scheduled meeting with several attendants and after the meeting, the recording was posted in the chat available for all. Can I avoid the posting of the recording?
thank you
Ruka_Zill Hello! Many improvements are coming as this is work in progress. I'm attaching a couple of links below.
Basically everyone invited to the meeting will be able to view the recording. You can see exactly how it works here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/tmr-meeting-recording-change#permissions-or-role-based-access On the other hand by using channel recordings every other member’s permissions are based on the channel SharePoint permissions.
Do note as the recordings end up in your OneDrive (not channel meetings) you can control/stop access.
The improvements I mentioned (more coming)
