Retrieving the recordings "specialFolder" on a Drive in Graph API

Question

I have a requirement where I need to access the Recordings folder of various users in our Org. Doing some reading and I am a bit confused as to whether the specialFolder.name = "recordings" is in Beta mode or not.

The 1.0 endpoint does not have the "recordings" specialFolder name here

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/specialfolder?view=graph-rest-1.0

However in the Beta it does

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/specialfolder?view=graph-rest-beta

The thing is I am able to see the "recordings" facet in some of my recordings folders for various Channels / Users in my org by calling 1.0 endpoint.

Has this become a 1.0 feature now, or is it still in Beta mode?

The 365 Roadmap does not contain anything about the specialFolder ->

• https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=special

and I am unable to find anything in the Graph API Changelog ->

• https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/changelog/?search= .

Where can I find what the progress/status is with this facet?

Thanks

Engineering team has said that Special folders aren’t part of the model so Graph versioning doesn’t apply – if beta supports a “recordings” special folder then v1.0 will as well because they both hit the same underlying service.

We will get the document updated to add recordings row in Special folder names v1.0.
