Changes to Teams meeting recordings for EDU A1 & “Recording failed to upload to Stream” error

So, to summarize, starting August 20th recorded meetings are no longer uploaded in Stream automatically, for A1 licenses.

Moreover, there is no way to remove the recorded video file hanging out in chat with the message “Recording failed to upload to Stream”, at least as of now. (I believe it's 21 days until they disappear)

We found out that upgrading to Office 365 A3 ($3.25/mt) does preserve/restore the automatically upload capability, and started to upgrade staff assisting with recording classes to A3. You don't need to upgrade the entire class, just the person who records. I couldn't find this mentioned in license comparison, but it works. So test it and do it gradually.

After upgrade, don't forget to assign the new A3 license to the person who clicks the recording button, and remove the A1. As with any license, this can be rotated also, but it does take several hours to activate.

Good luck!~
