Teams Meeting Recording without Stream
Here is a bit more detail on the entire process: a meeting is recorded in the Teams service, and it remains there until it can upload it to Stream. Once it can upload it to Stream, a link to the recording in Stream is inserted in the related Team channel or chat, and it the video remains in Stream only. If the recording can't be uploaded to Stream, for whatever reason (maybe the user doesn't have access to Stream or the user doesn't have a license to Stream), it remains in the Teams service for 7 days (this has been recently increased to 20 days) and a user can download it from Teams and move it somewhere else (since the user can't access Stream, he or she can upload it to the files tab in Teams or his OneDrive for Business, as an example). The number of days can NOT be changed, because it's really just a temporary place to store the recording until it can get moved to Stream. After the deadline, the video is deleted from the service for good. I hope that helps you understand why different people see different things (once user can access Stream, and the other cannot).
Hi,
User needs to be licensed to upload/download meetings to/from Microsoft Stream, however they do not need the license to record a meeting. If you wish to block a user from recording a Microsoft Teams Meeting, you must grant a TeamsMeetingPolicy that has AllowCloudRecording set to $False.

May I ask why you disabled Stream? 🙂 Sorry, no I will not ask that...
LinusCansbythanks that's what I thought, but users are able to download meetings.
Is downloading meeting inside teams different from downloading from Stream?
Stream being disabled is a legacy thing, the university has a service called Panopto which is used for Lecture capture and video distribution, perceived conflict with stream
- Yes, there it is possible to download a recording direct from Teams. I've only seen it when there been problem uploading to Stream and then users get the option to download direct from Teams.
If it is uploaded to Stream it will say something like "Your recording is ready in Stream now".What kind of solutions do you mean? I know we could record a video call with any third party application but do you know a way to download a recorded video from Teams when you don't have a Stream license?
We don't have a Stream license at all as our package don't contain it.
Currently, we can record meetings with Teams, we can replay the videos but we can't download it.Maybe Deleted can show how it looks when you record and download without having Stream enabled?
- Be sure your users does not have a Stream license assigned.
3 of us have it enabled for testing purposes.
There are only 3 users assigned to stream in the Azure Portal as well.
