Teams Meeting Recordings Retention Policy: Bypass Recycle Bin?
Our information governance team is keen to have the 60-day teams meeting recordings (TMRs) retention policy work in such a way that it deletes the TMR after 60 days and it is a hard delete, instead of moving it to the recycle bin of the OneDrive/SharePoint location. Is this possible?
Yes, but you have to use retention deletion with Purview https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/meetings-policies-recording-and-transcription#compliance

This is a proper guide https://office365itpros.com/2021/06/22/teams-meeting-recordings-auto-label/- Do you know if we set up a teams meeting recording (TMR) retention policy in Purview (which would take precedence over the 60-day Teams TMR policy), whether or not the file would go to the recycle bin once the file meets its Purview policy limit? In other words, is Purview retention policy for TMRs a hard delete of the file, rather than a recycle bin process?
- It will not go to the recycle bin using Purview as it does with expiration.
