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.
Our organization still wants to use MS Steam (Classic) instead of OneDrive/SharePoint.
After reading the article, I still don't know how we can opt out from the change: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/MicrosoftTeams/tmr-meeting-recording-change#opt-out-of-onedrive-for-business-and-sharepoint-to-continue-using-stream
Is there a way to opt out without using PowerShell script? Maybe I could switch something in administration panel? To be honest - we are not a large organization and as interim O365 admin I have no clue how to run this power shell scripts... 😕
- Hello, well you can opt out until this summer. Then it's going to switch over automatically. I'm afraid you have to do it with PowerShell. Try following this guide for installation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/MicrosoftTeams/tmr-meeting-recording-change#set-up-the-meeting-recording-option-for-onedrive-for-business-and-sharepoint
When it's installed you only need to run this (assuming you are only using the global policy).
Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity Global -RecordingStorageMode "Stream"- Thanks, it worked. This was my first time with PowerShell and I managed it. (woohooo, feel like a hacker... ;)).
- Well done!
