Recording of Meetings stopped streaming on Microsoft stream starting today only.
This says it was going to start the 20th, but didn't start until the last two days.
For customers with Office 365 A1 and A1 Plus licenses, Teams meeting recordings will no longer automatically upload to Microsoft Stream effective August 20, 2020.
Key points
- Timing: August 20, 2020
- Roll-out: tenant level
- Control type: user control
- Action: review and assess
[How this will affect your organization]
This change is expected to last through the end of 2020, and Microsoft will provide updates for further changes. Meetings recorded before August 20 are not affected by this change.
Following this change, your end users will continue to be able to record Teams meetings.
- To playback the meeting recording, participants will need to download the file from the chat window.
- To share or archive a recording, meeting participants will need to download the file and then upload it to Teams, Stream, SharePoint, or OneDrive.
Meeting recordings will be available in the meeting chat for a period of 21 days after the meeting. After 21 days, the meeting recordings will no longer be available for download from the chat.
DAkeeD Thank you for this hint! Found it now documented in the Microsoft Stream docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/portal-upload-teams-meeting-recording
Microsoft support said that this is due to server load during Covid, and that they will re-evaluate enabling this feature at the end of this year. As we are a small school we've decided to do extended trial testing of all the paid Microsoft subscriptions back to back to see the differences. I'm grateful for assigned group licencing.
- Here is even worse for us: With this update, all students can download the recording.
(One of the advantages was that the meeting went to Stream and the download was restricted to students)
Does anyone know how to fix this?
How can I now not allow students to download recorded meetings directly within Teams?
We are a small public university in Brazil. We have the "Office 365 A1 for faculty" license for free and we started using Teams and Stream just by the emergence of COVID.
I'm just a teacher, not an IT person, and I'm here looking for answers ...
Thank you, people.You Essentially have two options. The first would be to go into the Teams admin center, and turn off the Allow cloud recording option on the Meetings policy that is assigned to your teachers. The second, is to purchase at minimum Office 365 A3 for faculty licences for each of your teachers. Note, Microsoft does offer a 25 user trial for each of their subscriptions that can usually be extended once. These trials can be used at the same time and can be used for different groups of teachers.
If all of that sounds confusing then you might want to talk to Microsoft or hire an IT consultant group. If you do go with a consultant group, do some research as there are some that will try to sell a lot more than you'll ever need.
