Changes to Microsoft Teams recordings

Teams meeting recordings will now be stored in your OneDrive for Business account or the SharePoint site connected to your Microsoft Team instead of being stored in Microsoft Stream by default. 

What does this mean for you?

• Starting and stopping recordings: Starting and stopping a recording in Teams will remain the same.

• Accessing old recordings (recorded before September 1, 2021): Recordings from before September 1 will not be affected and will remain available in Stream.

• Accessing new recordings (recorded on or after September 1, 2021):

  • Channel meeting recordings will be stored in the Teams channel’s Files tab in the ‘Recordings’ folder. All members of the Team will have access to channel recordings.

  • Non-channel meetings will be stored in the OneDrive for Business account of the user who started the recording in the ‘Recordings’ folder. The recording will automatically be shared with all UW participants of the meeting. For external meeting participants, a link to the recording must be manually shared with them. 

Additional notes

• Closed captions for Teams meeting recordings will be available during playback only if the user had transcription turned on at the time of recording

  • Note: Enabling closed captions may impact your bandwidth during a live meeting

• For instructors:

  • Any links to videos you post on LEARN will now direct users to SharePoint or to your OneDrive

  •  If instructors do not want students to have the ability to download recorded lectures, they will need to update the sharing permissions for each video in SharePoint or OneDrive
