How do I delete a recording now that meeting recordings are not being uploaded to Stream

Yes. Can’t be done today. Have to wait the 21 days.

Hi All
I Hope this can help some of you. I have found a way to delete the meeting recording (within Teams).
Only the person who initiated the recording can delete the recording. This person will need to 'Join' the meeting again > Click 'Show conversation' icon and locate the recording > click the 3 dots and select Delete.
Hope this helps you all, any questions please ask or if you have found a better method please let me know.
This worked. Thank you. I joined the meeting again, went into the chat, found the recording, clicked on the recording as if I wanted to watch it again. Found the ellipses three dots and it gave me the option to delete. Thank you thank you. sumitsatsangi
Sadly rejoining the meeting doesn't work for us, but it was the most promising. When rejoining there was addition options in the ellipsis menu, including delete! This button wasn't greyed out, but clicking it unfortunately did nothing. The person who started the recording and myself tried clicking it several times, and also clicking and then waiting.. but unfortunately it did nothing - and the recording we don't want visible due to accidental disclosure is still available.
Unfortunately our recording is not in MS Onedrive or MS Stream, when we click download the URL is:
https://as-api.asm.skype.com/v1/objects/<Unique ID>/views/video
Context: We had an inter-organisation meeting created via Outlook using a shared mailbox to send the invite. So there is not even a team we can delete as a nuclear option to force the recording to be deleted.
The fact we can't delete something due to accidental disclosure is absolutely ridiculous, I can't believe MS has even released this. Teams offers no support services, the support page just says contact your admin. We have contacted our Microsoft Partner, they have only suggested the things they have found online like this thread - they have no additional contact with someone from MS to try resolve this.
We are definitely going to go back to Slack, although we have to pay per user for Slack even though all our users include Teams as part of their O365 subscriptions - the complete lack of direct support from MS is complete deal breaker.
sumitsatsangi Thank you for the tips. I tried it now and it worked!
Did not work for us the recording is still there and the recorders list of options in the meeting as greyed out. A Microsoft tech has been working with us but it is still there.sumitsatsangi
trishap00 I've had this today, with all but 2 options on the menu greyed out (including delete or Microsoft Stream).
I have company Office admin rights. When I went to the individual's Stream meetings or content, there was nothing there.
maestromarv unfortunately ours was not uploaded to stream or onedrive it is in limbo even the techs looked.
- You will need to find the meeting within your teams calendar and join the meeting from there.
Just remember only the person who started the recording can delete the recording.
Hope this helps
- I tried this. Unfortunately, the "Delete" button shows up for me (with the New Meeting Experience turned on) but it is grayed out.
We have a video that we are quite desperate to delete, to put it bluntly, and the fact that Microsoft has offered no way to delete a video is just insane.- Just to confirm the only person who can delete the video is the person who started the recording.
Hope this helps 👍🏼Unfortunately, even as the person who started and ended the recording, the Delete button is grayed out for me. Pretty disappointing... I was hoping that after more than a semester of this disaster, Microsoft would have figured out a way for us to do the most basic (and possible important) thing, which is to delete a file.
There was a situation in my organisation where some inappropriate comments were made on a video, and it was incredibly important to render the video inaccessible. We had to rapidly delete the entire team (ruining an entire semester of files and work) and recreate it to resolve it... and even then, I'm not sure that the video was truly inaccessible, but it was the most that could have been done.
