Navigating the Teams recording location is key for anyone using Microsoft Teams for meetings, as it empowers collaboration, training, and documentation efforts. As Teams emerges as the go-to platform for virtual gatherings, being adept at retrieving these recordings not only boosts efficiency but also ensures you make the most out of every meeting.

Where Do Microsoft Teams Store Recordings?

Since early 2021, Microsoft Teams has altered its recording storage practices. Recordings are now stored in OneDrive for non-channel meetings and SharePoint for channel meetings. This change aims to streamline access and improve security.

  • Channel Meetings: Recordings are saved to a SharePoint folder within the team’s channel, making them accessible to all channel members.
  • Non-Channel Meetings: Recordings go directly to the OneDrive of the user who initiated the recording, with viewing permissions extended to all invited meeting attendees.

How to Access Teams Recordings

Accessing your Teams meeting recordings requires a few simple steps, depending on the meeting type:

  • For Channel Meetings: Navigate to the channel in Teams, find the ‘Files’ tab, and select the ‘Recordings’ folder.
  • For Non-Channel Meetings: Open your OneDrive, and locate the ‘Recordings’ folder, where all meeting recordings initiated by you will be stored.
