Save Teams Meeting Recordings Locally
Is it possible to save Teams Meeting recordings locally instead of in Stream?
- No, that is not possible. Teams will record in a azure service and then encode and upload to Stream.
You could download the file from Stream and save somewhere locally.
Skype for business recorded locally but the problem there were that the person recording could not leave the meeting and sometimes the encoding didn't work so I think it is good that Teams uses recording service in azure.

escupham If you disable the Stream licences for users then the meeting is recorded and processed in Azure but it will not upload it to Stream as the user does not have a licence. The recording will be visible in the meeting chat the user has 21 days to download the meeting recording before the file is auto deleted.
I did not understand if you need to save it locally or this is not the preferred behavior?
Some companies do not want to have the recording to be saved in the Stream.
In such cases you may consider using a third party solution such as SphereShield here:

This will also allow to share video externally as well as perform eDiscovery on a company level.

We've been testing recordings and at some point, we had users who received the attached message after recording. Though the meeting notes a recoding failed message, they could click download and it saved the recording locally, and the recording was playable. I'm trying to figure out what setting we had so that worked.
