    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, 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.

      ChristianBergstrom Thanks. If that is caused by I'm not an admin then I'll ask them to opt in.
