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).

We license all of our users for Teams and Stream but only allow 3 people to post videos in Stream. So when people in Teams record their meetings they get an error and a link to download their videos (available for 20 days). This experience is expected, its a company policy that only 3 people can post videos to Stream and those using Teams for teaching just download and upload to Panopto or Canvas.
We have people who occasionally record meetings (That are not uploaded to Stream) and want/need to delete them before the 20 days passes.
How do you delete these videos that are available for download or even the posts about the meeting recordings ?
This is what it looks like for someone licensed for Stream but denied access to upload to Stream. I can't find how to delete either the file or the message about the meeting recording.
Recording from a user licensed for Stream but not allowed to upload.
This is what happens for someone who is licensed for Stream and also granted upload access.
You can delete these videos from Stream and the link no longer works in the Team but the post about it remains.
Meeting recorded by somone licensed for Stream and has right to upload to Stream.
Only Stream Admins and those explicitly listed here have access to upload Teams meetings to Stream. By default I believe MS gives everyone this access.

O365EDU - Strangely, there are no user or admin controls for deleting those posts or temporarily stored videos. Today, the only way to remove those is to submit a support ticket and request the video be deleted on your behalf. I believe the Teams product group was fast-tracking a fix for this, but I haven't seen it yet.
