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).
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
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?
LinusCansbyRecording is done in the teams client, no 3rd party addons.
I've got a stream license so can't test, but our users are reporting
"I am able to record a Teams meeting, you need be the person creating the meeting. It recorded: camera (video), audio and screen sharing , not the IM chat. The file appears in the Teams meeting conversation from where it can be downloaded. Downloads to my PC's Download folder as an MP4. ""I tested it with a training account. The training account was invited to the Teams meeting via the Outlook. The training account was able to download the video file.The mp4 file downloads from eu-api.asm.skype.com"
