prevent a conference recording from being downloaded

Hi there,   I noticed MS Teams has moved conference video storage location from MS Stream to local in MS Teams post where the conference is held. The change has made sometime in Aug 2020 for all A1...

    Great. That is the only way to change the recording storage location, as it’s a Teams meeting policy setting managed by an (Teams) administrator.

Hello, Microsoft did change the storage for A1 subscriptions previously due to Stream infrastructure maintenance. But since then they have introduced a new way of saving meeting recordings, meaning as for now choose Stream or OneDrive/SharePoint for storage. This following page explains it all and shows the available options (before it’s being default next year).

ChristianBergstrom Thanks. I read your tips and found those conference recordings are stored either in OneDrive or SharePoint now for A1 education users. But I could not find "Recordings" folder in my OneDrive, my root folder of OneDrive is "My files" and no "Recordings" folder under there. How could I reach to my recorded videos?

FYI, I browse again my MS Stream videos but could not find those conference recordings neither whilst I could download from the channel I initiated the conference in MS Team(although it is not a preferable way to do).

Thank you again.

    Hello, please read the info in the link again as it explains how it works, the config that needs to be done, where the recordings end up depending on what type of meeting it is. I understand it can be confusing but it’s all there. If you are just using the Teams default recording, since you are A1 with no automatic upload to Stream (if that is still the case), the recording will stay in Teams for 21 days and then be deleted. In this scenario you cannot prevent downloading the recording.

        Hi, who is the IT admin for your edu subscription? Have that person either opt in or out from the new storage location using PowerShell.
