Download Teams Meeting Recordings: What You Need to Know

Are you looking for ways to hold meetings or engage in group chats with colleagues and students? Microsoft Teams is an excellent platform for remote learning, collaboration, and communication. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of downloading your Teams meeting recordings and provide information on upcoming features and updates.

Recent Updates and Features

Microsoft continues to roll out new features and updates to enhance the user experience in Teams. To stay informed about all product updates, including those in development or launched, visit the Microsoft 365 Roadmap. You can also find more in-depth information on recent additions and upcoming features on this page.

Teams Meeting Recordings Retention Policy

Starting from January 2022, Microsoft will automatically delete any new Teams meeting recordings after a period of two years. This means that you must download your recordings within this timeframe to store them elsewhere. Don't worry if you've already made recordings before January 2022; they are still available for downloading and storing.

Retaining Meeting Recordings

To comply with the new retention policy, ensure you regularly check and download your Teams meeting recordings. This will help you maintain a record of your meetings and discussions.

Android Device Update

Users running Android devices on versions 5, 6, or 7 should update their devices to newer versions. Microsoft is retiring support for these older Android versions, which means some features may not be available or may work incorrectly.

New Features Coming Soon

Exciting new features are coming soon to Teams! Some of the updates include:

* Create and manage breakout rooms (assign another user as a breakout room manager by following the steps on our Breakout Rooms page)

* Access and modify meeting options for the meeting

* Assign up to 10 co-organizers in a meeting

* Grant capabilities to co-organizers, allowing them to perform many tasks typically done by the meeting organiser
