Teams Recording availability for South Africa region-registered tenants
mikkele The documentation has now been updated as it was misleading it now says
'Users won't need a Microsoft Stream license assigned if you want users to only record and download the recordings. This will mean that the recordings aren't stored in Microsoft Stream but are instead stored in Azure Media Services (AMS) with a 21-day limit before it's deleted. It's not something at this point that an admin can control or manage including the ability to delete it.'
To enable in region recordings, you need to perform the following steps:
1. Download and install the Skype for Business Online Connector module – detailed here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/manage-skype-for-business-online-with-microsoft-365-powershell?view=o365-worldwide
2. Once connected run the following script:
Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy – AllowCloudRecording $true -AllowRecordingStorageOutsideRegion $true -identity <Policy Name>
NOTE - <Policy Name> depicts the Meeting Policy you would like to enable this for – so if you want the whole org, then this would be attached to the Global Policy, therefor your script would read as follows:
Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy – AllowCloudRecording $true -AllowRecordingStorageOutsideRegion $true -identity <Policy Name>
Depending on the number of users in your organisation – this could take up to 2hours.
Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy – AllowCloudRecording $true -AllowRecordingStorageOutsideRegion $true -identity Global
