Meeting recording storage and permissions

Teams meeting recordings will be stored in OneDrive or SharePoint, depending on the type of meeting. 

Note that a recording will expire and be automatically deleted after a set period of time. The amount of time it's available is set by your admin, but you can change or remove the expiration date of any given recording. For more info, see How To: Record a meeting in Teams (Desktop) or How To: Record a meeting in Teams (Mobile).

 

Channel meetings

For channel meetings, the recording will be stored in a Recordings folder in the Files tab for the channel.

The Files tab stores all files in a SharePoint site and document library for the channel. Everyone who is a part of the channel will have permission to edit and view the recording.

 

All other meetings 

For non-channel meetings, the recording will be stored in the Recordings folder in the OneDrive directory of the person who started the recording.

If you recorded or organized the meeting, you can share the recording with people who weren't invited to the meeting—by just sharing it like you would share any other file.
