Microsoft to Introduce Auto-Expiration for Teams Meeting Recordings
What if the file is moved to a new location? Let's say a video archive library located on a SharePoint site? Will it prevent it from being expired?
UP That was actually a question to TonyRedmond 😉Deleted Just read the following from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/cloud-recording#auto-expiration-of-teams-meeting-recordings:
What happens if I copy or move the TMR to a different location or site?
The date is only retained for a moved TMR file. A copied file will not have the expiration date, just like a re-uploaded TMR.
We got a message on Jan 31st that the default expiration has changed from 60 days to 120 days, but the documentation hasn't been updated since Jan 25th, so it still says 60 days.
- I believe that the expiration date is stamped in the file properties when the TMR is created, so moving it to a new library won't do anything to stop auto-expiration. If you don't want recordings to expire either a) remove the expiration date or b) assign a retention label.
TonyRedmond, Deleted, - You're right Tony. Moving a recording will also move the auto-expire setting. But copying a file to a different location will remove auto-expire, as will downloading and uploading the recording. There will also be user-level settings that allow a recording owner or meeting organiser to change the expiry for a specific recording. You will be able to choose from 14, 30 or 60 days, set a specific expiry date or set it to not expire at all.
