In Microsoft Teams, users can record their Teams meetings, webinars, and town halls to capture audio, video, and screen sharing activity. The recording happens in Microsoft 365 and is saved to OneDrive or SharePoint, which must be enabled for the user.
There's also an option for recordings to have automatic transcription, so that users can play back meeting recordings with closed captions and review important discussion items in the transcript. For more information about transcription and captions, read Configure transcription and captions for Teams meetings.
External participants can't record meetings except in the case of Teams policy-based compliance recording. If an external Teams user that is enabled for compliance recording joins a meeting or call hosted by your organization, that meeting or call will be recorded by the other organization for compliance purposes regardless of the Meeting recording setting in your organization. Presenters in that meeting can remove the external participant from the meeting if they don't want the recordings captured by the other organization.
You can use the Microsoft Teams admin center or PowerShell to set a Teams meeting policy to control whether users' meetings can be recorded. Both the meeting organizer and the recording initiator need to have recording permissions to record the meeting.
Many users use meetings and calls interchangeably depending on their needs. We recommend you check your call recording policy settings as well. If the settings are different for meetings and calls, it may cause confusion for your users.
The -ExplicitRecordingConsent parameter in the CsTeamsMeetingPolicy cmdlet controls whether meetings created by organizers with this assigned policy require participants to provide explicit consent for recordings.The following table shows the behaviors of the settings for the -ExplicitRecordingConsent parameter:
Using PowerShell, the -ChannelRecordingDownload parameter in Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy controls if channel members can download meeting recordings. This is done by controlling which folder recordings are stored in.
This setting provides you with a simple tool that reduces the amount of storage older recordings use. OneDrive and SharePoint monitor the expiration setting on all meeting recordings and automatically move recordings to the recycle bin on their expiration date.
This setting controls whether or not meeting recordings automatically expire. After turning on Meetings automatically expire, you'll get the option to set the Default expiration time, measured in days. Meeting recordings have a default expiration time of 120 days.
File retention takes precedence over file deletion. A Teams meeting recording with a Purview retention policy can't be deleted by a Teams meeting recording expiration policy until after the retention period is completed. For example, if you have a Purview retention policy that says a file will be kept for five years and a Teams meeting recording expiration policy set for 60 days, the Teams meeting recording expiration policy will permanently delete the recording after five years.
If you have a Teams meeting recording expiration policy and Purview deletion policy with different deletion dates, the file is deleted at the earliest of the two dates. For example, if you have a Purview deletion policy that says a file will be deleted after one year and a Teams meeting recording expiration set for 120 days, the Teams meeting recording expiration policy will delete the file after 120 days.
On the expiration date, the recording is moved into the recycle bin and the expiration date field is cleared. If a user recovers a recording from the recycle bin, the meeting expiration setting won't delete it again.
After adding your privacy policy URL, the default Teams meeting recording and transcription privacy statement will be replaced with the URL you provided. (People from outside your organization who join Teams meetings hosted by your organization will still have the default Teams meeting recording and transcription privacy policy.)
Teams meeting recordings are stored in OneDrive and SharePoint storage. The location and permissions depend on the type of meeting and the role of the user in the meeting. Users that have full edit rights on the video recording file can change the permissions and share it later with others as needed.
If a meeting recording can't be uploaded to OneDrive and SharePoint, it's temporarily available for download from the meeting chat for 21 days before it's deleted. This may happen if the upload destination has exceeded its quota or has file uploads restricted. If the chat is deleted, then the recording is also deleted.
Teams is designed to allow easy recording for meeting participants. If you have compliance requirements around how meeting recordings are used, there are several options available for administrators and meeting organizers to help you use meeting recordings in a compliant way.
The Teams Administrator has overall control over whether meeting recording is enabled. Both meeting organizers and administrators can configure who can record and whether meetings are automatically recorded by using sensitivity labels, meeting templates, and meeting organizer settings.
If you need to prevent meetings from being recorded entirely, you must configure the Meeting recording meetings policy in the Teams admin center. This setting applies to the people or groups that you specify. It can't be applied via a meeting template or sensitivity label.
You can require participants to agree to being recorded before they can unmute or turn on their camera. Consent results are stored in the meeting attendance report. This is controlled through a Teams meeting policy. For details, see Require participant agreement for recording.
When a meeting participant records a meeting, the recording is stored in their OneDrive. Channel meetings are stored in the SharePoint site associated with the channel. Because meeting recordings are .mp4 files, they can be moved or deleted like any other file. If a meeting recording is moved from its original location, the expiration setting will no longer affect it.
The expiration feature is meant for removing old recordings to save storage space. It's not meant for enforcing compliance requirements. If you have compliance requirements around how long meeting recordings are retained or when they're deleted, consider storing them in a SharePoint library where you can apply Microsoft Purview retention policies.
A recording will expire and be automatically deleted after a set period of time. The length of time it's available is set by your admin, but you can change the expiration date of any given recording. For more info, see Manage the expiration of a meeting recording.
Anyone who meets the following criteria can start or stop a recording, even if the meeting organizer isn't present, as long as the meeting organizer has their cloud recording policy setting turned on.
Your admin's settings determine whether (and when) a recording will expire. If your recording has an expiration date, you'll see a message indicating that when the recording pops into the meeting chat after the meeting ends.
As of August 2021, Teams meeting recordings will no longer be saved to Microsoft Stream. Moving forward, all meeting recordings will be saved to OneDrive and SharePoint. Your organization might already have made this change.

In Microsoft Teams, users can record and transcribe their Teams meetings to capture and review the meeting content. We have released new Graph APIs available in public preview that allows developers to fetch the recording & transcript for a scheduled regular (non-channel) meeting.
Developers building LOB apps and multi-tenant ISV solutions in domains like Sales Intelligence and HR/Interview Intelligence can use these Teams Recording & Transcript APIs to fetch recording and transcript content of a scheduled regular (non-channel) meeting, after the meeting ends.
Can you please elaborate a bit what does this means for the vendor solutions on: Compliance recording for Teams certification programs? This costs from using these APIs are coming on top of everything? Basically when ever user have a meeting and that call is recorded there is an extra fee at behind?
