Microsoft to Introduce Auto-Expiration for Teams Meeting Recordings
In September 2021, Microsoft will introduce a new auto-expiration feature for Teams meeting recordings stored in OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online. By default, recordings will be moved ...
Microsoft's documentation for the Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy cmdlet says that the maximum expiration period is 99,999 days. It's not. The safe value is more like 9,999. If you go above this horrible things happen, like the Teams Admin Center having problems.
Hi Tony,
Hope you are well. Thanks for posting this!
Is there any formal documentation around this?
There's no update to this doc and apologies, I can't find any?

- The feature might still ship in September, but the nature of these features is that many slip a little. See https://office365itpros.com/2021/07/06/office365-delays-retirements-features/ for some other recent examples of slippages.
- It is worth remembering that this is part of the Teams meeting policy so you can create custom policies with a longer expiration period if some users within your organization need to keep recordings for longer e.g. internal comms or L&D. This is much simpler than trying to get users to remember to change the expiration or add an retention label to each recording.
- Hi, there's a whole chapter about it in the link you provided https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/cloud-recording#auto-expiration-of-teams-meeting-recordings
- Ah. Thank you Christian, perhaps I need new glasses. 😉 So it's still in Dev and slipped to October for now.
