Stopping the sharing of Teams meeting recordings from Meeting chat

Hi all
Is there a way to stop the sharing of recorded meetings from the Meeting chat. 
This sharing function automatically shares the recording to everyone in the organization and this is causing a lot of concern for our company. It is unmanageable to go and clean this up for everyone that is not paying attention to the fact that it is sharing to everyone.
Would really appreciate some assistance with this.
Regards

  • BrendonB Well if there is any compliance requirement why not you create Teams/Channel and ask users to create meeting from there. In that case only members of that Teams/Channel can see the recordings, where as the other parties cant see the recordings be it be same tenant/Organization users or external users. Recordings will be saved into Teams OneDrive space only team members can see the recordings.

      I did a test run of this, and it does not allow the chat box to be open for those who are not in the channel. And we would still want the attendees to be able to ask questions in the chat.

      Yeah, with the new recording storage location (Stream -> OneDrive/SharePoint) this shouldn’t be an issue any more.

    Just to lend a +1 to this request. We had the same feature request generated by the same concerns ourselves. Because everyone is used to seeing a Share button now, thanks to social media, they click it and OK the pop-up without reading. This leads to meetings being shared across the organisation. So far no meeting has been shared with sensitive/problematic information but we now have a member of staff assigned to monitor for recordings which have been inadvertently shared and issue responses, tying up that team-member from other duties.

      ChristianBergstrom Thanks very much for the reference.

      Unfortunately I dont find anything in there that will help with the problem. We either need to turn off the share to everyone function from Teams or be able to make sure that share to everyone is not the default behaviour.

        BrendonB How about controlling who can record a meeting with a policy instead? And then decide the permissions on the recording in Stream. Would that be an alternative?
