Where are these video clips stored?

Updated-

The video clips are stored in a M365 service called ~~ODSP~~ AMS (Async Media Service) and then ingested into Substrate.

When a user deletes their video clip, it will delete from both AMS and Substrate as well.

However, if the tenant set a retention policy to their user content, it will honor the retention policy.

The other way to look at this is that video clip is just like a text message with a attachment, it will follow the chat message life cycle.

Earlier I mentioned ODSP which is the service for files and images.

Jason_Schumacher can you expand on Async Media Service (and why its not using ODSP)? Is there any way to query that service to run a report of who used TVC?

Hi, Jason!

So if I defined a Chat Retention Policy that deletes chat messages after 30 days, I guess video clips would also be deleted, wouldn't they?

Could the receiver download and keep the video clip or just watch it inside the Teams client?

Thanks!

  It will delete the video clip that is part of the message per the retention policy you outlined.
  
  Download of video clips is not a supported function.

Interesting. How do I access ODSP and delete my video clips, when necessary?
