Flonnect is a strong all-round choice when you need recording, transcription, summaries and action items together. Teams native recording is convenient for organizations already working entirely inside Microsoft 365.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size:19px; font-weight:800; color:#111827; margin:22px 0 6px 0;\">Where are Microsoft Teams recordings stored?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; color:#374151; margin:0 0 16px 0;\">Standard non-channel Teams recordings are normally stored in the organizer&#8217;s OneDrive, while channel meeting recordings are stored in the channel&#8217;s SharePoint site.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size:19px; font-weight:800; color:#111827; margin:22px 0 6px 0;\">How long do Microsoft Teams recordings last?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; color:#374151; margin:0 0 16px 0;\">Microsoft&#8217;s current default automatic expiration setting is 120 days for new meeting recordings and transcripts.

Instead of replaying the video, you can search for a person&#8217;s name, decision, deadline, objection, question or project topic and then verify it against the recording.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size:19px; font-weight:800; color:#111827; margin:22px 0 6px 0;\">Should every Microsoft Teams meeting be recorded?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px; color:#374151; margin:0 0 16px 0;\">No. Record when losing context would create real cost\u2014for example client calls, training, interviews, project decisions, consultations or important lessons.
