Update: You can now control Teams Meeting Recording expiration notification emails

Hey Teams community,

 

We've heard the feedback. For admins and users managing a high volume of meetings, TMR expiration emails can pile up fast. We've been working on giving you control, and that control is now here.

 

What's new

Tenant admins can now use a PowerShell cmdlet to suppress Teams Meeting Recording expiration and deletion notification emails across their organization. Notifications stay on by default (no change if you do nothing), but if you'd like to turn them off, here's how.

 

Prerequisites

• Latest version of SharePoint Online Management Shell (download here). Note, it's Windows-only, so you'll need a Windows machine or Azure Virtual Desktop
• SharePoint Admin or Global Admin permissions

 

Steps

1. Connect to your tenant

powershell

Connect-SPOService -Url https://<your-tenant>-admin.sharepoint.com

 

2. Check the current value

powershell

Get-SPOTenant | Format-List *Recording*

False = notifications currently on (default). True = notifications suppressed.

 

3. Suppress notifications

powershell

Set-SPOTenant -DisableTeamsMeetingRecordingDeletedNotification $true

You'll see a confirmation prompt — enter Y to proceed.

 

4. Verify

powershell

(Get-SPOTenant).DisableTeamsMeetingRecordingDeletedNotification

True means you're all set. No more expiration emails for your tenant.

Want to turn them back on later? Just run the same command with $false.

What doesn't change

• Recordings still expire and delete on the same schedule
• No per-user settings, no UI changes. This is purely a tenant-level admin toggle

We'll keep monitoring feedback, and as always, drop your questions below.
