descapa_msft Is there any possibilities to prevent students downloading the video, just the teachers can dowload? We would like to upload it to Stream where students can only watch it, but can not download and send to others.

    tamasivanyi there isn't a way to have it such that only the teacher could download.  You could have those users move to an A3 license and then recordings will auto save in Stream which does have some of these download blocks.

    tamasivanyi / descapa_msft - yes this is going to create an issue where students can access the videos; is there anything within the settings that we can tick etc. to stop students being able to download. Surely this is a GDPR/Data protection issue?

      Christir86 currently no there isn't a way to not allow users to download the file from Teams if a recording is in Teams.  If the person who it record is on an A3 license it will go to Stream which does have the block download.
