Upcoming change: disabling Teams meeting recording expiration notification emails
UPDATE: Please see the updated post on this topic here: Update: You can now control Teams Meeting Recording expiration notification emails | Microsoft Commu… Hello, We wanted to share an important update regarding email notifications for expired Microsoft Teams meeting recordings. Based on valuable feedback from our community, we’ve decided to make a change to how notifications are handled. What’s changing: Starting June 1st, we will stop sending email notifications for expired Microsoft Teams meeting recordings. We are making this change due to complaints we received from many customers about the high volume of notifications which they deemed low value. This change allows us to respect your preferences while ensuring critical communications remain accessible. Recording expiration and deletion policies remain unchanged and items that expire will be deleted even when notifications are not being sent. How to keep receiving notifications: For those customers that would like to continue receiving email notifications, we will create a new setting and make it available before June 1st. This will be a per-tenant setting. We will send another message center post once this setting is available and update our documentation in this discussion and on our support page. After June 1st: If you didn’t change notification settings before the deadline, you can still re-enable them at any time by running the PowerShell command. Note: Our original message center post incorrectly asked recipients to fill out a survey and failed to include a link to the survey. We are committed to providing options that work for your organization, and we would like to hear from you.

Hey Teams community, We've heard the feedback. For admins and users managing a high volume of meetings, TMR expiration emails can pile up fast. We've been working on giving you control, and that control is now here. What's new Tenant admins can now use a PowerShell cmdlet to suppress Teams Meeting Recording expiration and deletion notification emails across their organization. Notifications stay on by default (no change if you do nothing), but if you'd like to turn them off, here's how. Prerequisites Latest version of SharePoint Online Management Shell (download here). Note, it's Windows-only, so you'll need a Windows machine or Azure Virtual Desktop SharePoint Admin or Global Admin permissions Steps 1. Connect to your tenant powershell Connect-SPOService -Url https://<your-tenant>-admin.sharepoint.com 2. Check the current value powershell Get-SPOTenant | Format-List *Recording* False = notifications currently on (default). True = notifications suppressed. 3. Suppress notifications powershell Set-SPOTenant -DisableTeamsMeetingRecordingDeletedNotification $true You'll see a confirmation prompt — enter Y to proceed. 4. Verify powershell (Get-SPOTenant).DisableTeamsMeetingRecordingDeletedNotification True means you're all set. No more expiration emails for your tenant. Want to turn them back on later? Just run the same command with $false. What doesn't change Recordings still expire and delete on the same schedule No per-user settings, no UI changes. This is purely a tenant-level admin toggle We'll keep monitoring feedback, and as always, drop your questions below.Update to disabling Teams meeting recording expiration notification emails

How to prevent video from being cropped in a Teams recording?
Recently we recorded a video of a meeting. The meeting was hybrid where 4 of the main presenters were seated in the front of the room. We positioned the camera to have all 4 presenters in view. The output was correctly displayed in the room and on a separate laptop (all 4 presenters could be seen at all times). Upon reviewing the recording, only 1.5 of the presenters were visible, even when one of the other presenters was speaking. It seems that the "Fill frame" feature enabled itself for the recording, despite the person who recorded the meeting verifying that the "Fit to frame" option was selected on his device before recording. Is there a way to prevent videos from being automatically cropped in recordings?Interpreting Audit Records for Teams Meeting Recordings (Again)
Three years ago, I wrote a script to analyze the audit records generated for Teams meeting recordings. Then things changed in terms of how the audit records were generated and how the Search-UnifiedAuditLog cmdlet returns audit search results. All of which meant that considerable work was needed to revamp (rewrite) the script. Maybe you need to check any script that uses the Search-UnifiedAuditLog cmdlet too? https://office365itpros.com/2024/06/07/teams-meeting-recordings-june24/
