How to Retrieve Missing Recording
On Thursday, April 1, I conducted a Teams meeting and started recording at the beginning. When the meeting finished,
I noticed the message “Recording Multiple available”. Someone had started a second recording half-way through the meeting.This person had dropped and re-joined due to wifi issues. This second recording is the only one that I can access now.
How can I gain access to the first recording? It does not appear in my OneDrive folder.
is there any way to recover the lost recording is my case as explained?

Hello, this is kind of the expected behavior when users are eligible to start a recording of a meeting. In other words, you can't make multiple recordings of the same meeting at the same time. If one person starts recording a meeting, that recording will be stored and accessible depending on the type of meeting (OneDrive, non-channel meeting and SharePoint, channel meetings). What type of meeting recording was it?
You should use the Teams meeting roles to prevent this from happening as Attendees can't start or stop a recording (also policies available).

ChristianBergstrom not a problem my friend.

- If there was more than one recording, this means someone must have stopped the first recording at some point as you can only have one running at a time. Also, if recordings are set to go to OneDrive/SharePoint rather than Stream, then there is no way the other recording should have saved to Stream, but it's worth double checking just to rule it out I guess.
