Upcoming change: disabling Teams meeting recording expiration notification emails

Hello,


We wanted to share an important update regarding email notifications for expired Microsoft Teams meeting recordings. Based on valuable feedback from our community, we’ve decided to make a change to how notifications are handled.


What’s changing:
Starting June 1st, we will stop sending email notifications for expired Microsoft Teams meeting recordings. We are making this change due to complaints we received from many customers about the high volume of notifications which they deemed low value. This change allows us to respect your preferences while ensuring critical communications remain accessible. Recording expiration and deletion policies remain unchanged and items that expire will be deleted even when notifications are not being sent.


How to keep receiving notifications:
For those customers that would like to continue receiving email notifications, we will create a new setting and make it available before June 1st. This will be a per-tenant setting. We will send another message center post once this setting is available and update our documentation in this discussion and on our support page.


After June 1st:
If you didn’t change notification settings before the deadline, you can still re-enable them at any time by running the PowerShell command.


Note: Our original message center post incorrectly asked recipients to fill out a survey and failed to include a link to the survey. We are committed to providing options that work for your organization, and we would like to hear from you. If you have questions or additional feedback about this change, please complete this survey and join the discussion: Teams Meeting Recording Notification Changes – Fill out form


Thank you for being part of our community.

  • Why launch this before the "keep current setting" is in place. Better to launch it all in one package?

      My guess is that these recordings take up a lot of space and Microsoft just hopes that end users, and their organization's IT departments, will forget and just let them be auto-deleted. The ol' "out of site out of mind" routine.

      Truth be told users rarely go back and watch those videos, but still a sneaky way by Microsoft to eliminate them.
