Hi SONeill,

No news to share on this just yet. We are starting with Block Download support for Teams Meeting Recordings and will be looking to expand further in the future. Thanks!

Hi

May I know if this feature would be available to us soon on OneDrive? Because I see that there are lots of people asking for this feature for ages and nothing much has been done still.

Thanks so much for your help
