Option "block download" not showing
I don't have an article handy but can confirm that we currently only support Block Download for Office files.
That being said, we are working on Block Download for other file types (as announced in the Sharing talk at Ignite last year) and you should keep an eye on Message Center for more news on that soon 🙂
Thanks!

StephenRice while we are eagerly waiting for this feature to be available on our tenants, a question arises for me regarding Teams recordings.
In a channel meeting that is recorded, what permissions will attendees have on it? By default, it would be desirable that only the moderators have the download option, but, reading the announcement in detail, it seems that this option will be available for the sharing links. Also, based on other types of files, I am afraid that only for those that are shared with everyone.

Hi cjescudero,
Today, the recording is uploaded to the Team channel so everyone on the team has Full Control, like they do on every file in the Team channel.
In the future though (exact date TBD, keep an eye on message center),
Recorders & organizers of the meeting can edit.
Members of the team channel can view only (and are blocked from downloading)
Owners of the team get full control.
Hope that helps!

Now that it is not possible to save recordings anywhere other than Onedrive/Sharepoint, our University is starting to have legal problems with this limitation. By limiting the permissions of the recordings folder to read-only, we have fixed the problem of accidental deletion of the recordings, but not the problem of the download blocking.
A functionality that was desirable is now urgent, because otherwise, Teams recordings are not valid for us.
- Hopefully that future is not too far away. At our University there are many complaints from faculty because students (or any other attendees of the organization) have access to downloading the recording of a channel meeting in Teams.
