Question

Good morning,

A teams meeting was recorded without the consent of other students. Is there a way I can delete this recording? It was started by a student.

Thanks

Hi

1. Identify the Owner or Organizer

Since the recording was started by a student, they would typically be the owner of the recording. However, it's possible that the recording is accessible to other participants, especially if it was uploaded to a shared location like Microsoft Stream or OneDrive.

2. Check Where the Recording Is Stored

• Microsoft Teams: Recordings are generally saved to Microsoft Stream, OneDrive, or SharePoint depending on the organization's settings.
  • Microsoft Stream: Teams recordings saved here can be managed directly through the Stream interface.
    • OneDrive for Business or SharePoint: Teams recordings saved here can be managed through the respective file storage platform.

3. Deleting the Recording

If Stored in Microsoft Stream:

1. Sign in to Microsoft Stream: Go to Microsoft Stream and sign in with your credentials.
   1. Find the Recording: Navigate to "My Content" > "Videos" and locate the recording.
      1. Delete the Recording: Click on the video you want to delete. Then, click on the "More actions" (three dots) and select "Delete."
      If Stored in OneDrive for Business:
      1. Sign in to OneDrive: Go to OneDrive for Business and sign in.
         1. Locate the File: Find the folder where the recording was saved (often under "Recordings").
            1. Delete the File: Right-click on the file and select "Delete."

• If Stored in SharePoint:

1. Sign in to SharePoint: Go to your SharePoint site and sign in.
2. Find the Document Library: Navigate to the document library where the recording is stored.
3. Delete the File: Locate the recording, select it, and choose "Delete" from the toolbar.
