ScreaminScott is correct, the file is where they say it is, but my problem is that Android 14 doesn't let me access that folder through the Samsung "My Files" app, or through a 3rd party file manager app I like to use called "File Commander".

 

The way I solved the problem for myself was to open the video attachment in Teams Android mobile app, hit the < "Share" button while watching the video. When asked where to share it to, I selected More Apps and picked the file manager app that I have installed, in my case File Commander. File Commander popped up with my list of folders in the Android internal storage, I tapped "Downloads" and tapped OK.

 

So that's how I got it to work for me on Android 14, Samsung S24 Ultra, One UI 6.1, in September 2024. I'm sure this will be subject to change as OS or UI updates come along, so YMMV.

 

Thank you again, ScreaminScott for getting me closer to the answer!
