Where Do Teams Recordings Go? Find Saved Teams Recording Location

If you use Microsoft Teams for online meetings, you may want to record Teams meetings to share them with those who cannot attend the meeting or record training sessions to refer back to.

But after recording on Teams, where are Microsoft Teams’ recordings saved? And how can you share these stored Teams recordings with other team members?

In this post, we’ll show you how to find your recorded Teams meetings, so you can save, play, share, and download them easily as you wish. Let’s find out quickly.

Where are Teams recordings stored?

The location of your Teams recordings depends on the type of meeting you recorded.

There are two main types of meetings in Teams: channel meetings and non-channel meetings.

Channel meetings are what Microsoft calls Teams meetings that schedule and occur within a Teams channel.

Non-channel meetings, however, are called “standard meetings”, “personal meetings”, or “private meetings”, which can be scheduled from Outlook calendar or Teams calendar.

• If it was a channel meeting, the recording is processed and saved to Share Point.
• If it was a non-channel meeting, the recorded video is processed and saved to One Drive. 

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.

For non-channel meetings, the recording will be stored in the Recordings folder in the One Drive directory of the person who started the recording. It is accessible to all participants of the meeting and anyone who has permission to view or edit it.

Tips:

Only the organizer of the meeting and the person who started the recording will be able to edit the recording. But everyone invited to the meeting will be able to view the recording.
