Did you know Microsoft Teams allows you to record meetings, making it easier to revisit discussions, share insights, and collaborate more effectively? While this feature is incredibly convenient, many users find themselves asking a common question: “Where can I find my recordings?”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This confusion stems from an update in 2021 when Microsoft changed the default recording storage locations to integrate more seamlessly with OneDrive and SharePoint. As a result, understanding <\/span>where is Teams recording location<\/span> \u2013 and how to manage them \u2013 has become a bit more complex.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Find Microsoft Teams Recording Location?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The answer to the question of finding a <\/span>Microsoft teams recording location<\/span> depends on the type of meeting. Microsoft Teams saves recordings in different locations based on whether the meeting happened in a channel or was a private or scheduled meeting. It can also be accessed through meeting chats or your Team’s calendar, making it easier to find when you know where to look.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here, we\u2019ll break down where Microsoft Teams stores recordings for <\/span>different types of meetings <\/span>and how you can quickly locate them.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Channel Meetings<\/span><\/h3>\n

When a meeting happens in a Teams channel, the recording is automatically saved in the <\/span>Files tab<\/b> of that channel. Microsoft Teams stores these recordings in a folder called <\/span>Recordings<\/b>, making it easy for everyone in the channel to find and access them.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"For<\/p>\n


\nTo locate your recording:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the <\/span>Teams channel<\/b> where the meeting was hosted.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Go to the <\/span>Files tab<\/b> at the top of the channel.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Look for the <\/span>Recordings folder<\/b>, where all the meeting recordings are stored.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The best part? Everyone in the channel has access to these recordings automatically, so there\u2019s no need to share permissions separately. However, it\u2019s a good idea to keep the folder organized by renaming files or creating subfolders if your team has many recordings.<\/span><\/p>\n

    For Non-Channel Meetings (Private or Scheduled Meetings)<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Recordings for private or scheduled meetings are saved in the <\/span>OneDrive<\/b> of the person who started the recording. Teams create a folder called <\/span>Recordings<\/b> in their OneDrive, where these files are stored.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"For<\/p>\n


    \nHere\u2019s how to find it:<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. If you started the recording, log in to your <\/span>OneDrive<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Look for the folder named <\/span>Recordings<\/b>. Your file will be there.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. If you didn\u2019t start the recording, the organizer will share a link to access the recording.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


      \n<\/span>OneDrive makes it easy to manage and share recordings. If you need to share the file, you can send a link directly from OneDrive and even set permissions, like who can view or download the recording.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Using Meeting Chat or Calendar<\/span><\/h3>\n

      An easy way to <\/span>find your Team recordings<\/span><\/a> is through the <\/span>meeting chat<\/b> or the <\/span>Teams calendar<\/b>. Once the meeting ends, Teams automatically posts a link to the recording in the chat, making it easy for participants to access.<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Open the <\/span>meeting chat<\/b> in Teams after the meeting.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Look for the message that says, “Recording is available,” and click the link.<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Alternatively, open the <\/span>Teams calendar<\/b>, find the meeting event, and check for the recording link there.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This method is perfect if you didn\u2019t start the recording yourself. Just keep in mind that you can only access the recording if the person who started it has shared it with the participants. Always check the chat or calendar after a meeting to ensure you don\u2019t miss any important recordings!<\/span><\/p>\n

        How to Manage Microsoft Teams Recording Location?<\/span><\/h2>\n

        Managing your Microsoft Teams recording location is essential for staying organized and ensuring your recordings are easily accessible when you need them. While Microsoft Teams doesn\u2019t allow you to change the default storage location directly, there are several ways to manage permissions and change the teams recording location effectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Changing the Recording Storage Location in Microsoft Teams<\/span><\/h3>\n

        While Microsoft Teams doesn\u2019t let you change the default storage location directly, you can still manage and move your recordings to better organize or share them. Depending on whether the recording is from a channel meeting or a private meeting, the steps vary slightly.<\/span><\/p>\n

        For Channel Recordings<\/span><\/h4>\n

        Channel <\/span>meeting recordings<\/span><\/a> are automatically stored in the <\/span>Files tab<\/b> of the associated Teams channel. Behind the scenes, these files are stored in the channel\u2019s connected <\/span>SharePoint library<\/b>. If you want to organize or move these recordings, you can easily do so within SharePoint.<\/span><\/p>\n
