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 ...
Users have started reporting that when you move a TMR, for example from OneDrive to SharePoint, the date picker for meeting expiration disappears. I have tested this and it does disappear, however if you move it back to OneDrive it reappears with the date sill set. This could prevent dates from being extended and TMRs being deleted. Will report this.
The guidance is still saying 120 days in some places, however admin centre default shows 60 and the dates being set are still only 60 days.

- I believe that losing the ability to set an expiration date when moving out of OneDrive to SharePoint is expected. When you move a file to a SharePoint site, it becomes a shared resource and is under the control of whatever retention policy applies to the site. If you want to set a specific retention period for a recording, you can use a retention label. As to the 120/60 days thing, I think this is just the GUI struggling to catch up with a decision to move the default retention period out to 120 days from 60 (the original value).
- We aren't moving recordings between ODB & SPO, and we still "lost" the expiration.
The field was definitely there when we tested on 3/15 (both with a user who was seeing the expiration happening early per incident TM341040 and one who was waiting for change MC274188 to be applied on 03/25).
It's only on 04/11 that we noticed the expiration had completely disappeared (I got a heads up in the AM from JasonPearce's post, and that afternoon a user contacted our internal helpdesk).sd adm Do you mean that you don't see expiration dates at all?
I just created a Teams meeting recording and see the expiration date in its properties.
