Answer 1

Hi @Rashmi Joshi

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.    

Regarding the Teams Live Event held on September 10, 2025, if the event link is no longer opening, this is most likely due to recording retention/storage policies. Teams Live Event recordings are typically kept for a limited period based on how your organization’s storage/retention is configured. Once the retention period is reached: 

• The recording may no longer appear under the Live Event resources 
• The attendee playback link may stop working 
• The event page itself may not load reliably for older events 

Since your event was on September 10, 2025, it’s possible the recording has now aged beyond the default retention window in your environment. 

For more details, please refer to: Live event recording policies in Microsoft Teams

Even if the Teams link is no longer opening, the recording may still exist elsewhere, especially if it was saved automatically to OneDrive/SharePoint or recently removed. 

Here are some steps you can try: 

1. Ask the Organizer/Producer to check OneDrive / SharePoint 

If possible, please contact the original organizer or produce and ask them to check: 

• OneDrive > My files > Recordings 
• The SharePoint site connected to the Team/channel used for the event (if applicable) 

2. Check the Recycle Bin  

• Ask the organizer to check their OneDrive Recycle Bin, or the associated SharePoint Recycle Bin 
• If they find it there, they can select the file and choose Restore. 

3. Contact your IT Admin

If the organizer is unable to locate the recording, you may also want to contact your IT administrator. Depending on your tenant’s retention and compliance settings, they may be able to check whether the file is still available by running a search in Microsoft Purview. 

Hopefully it will help work with your issue and if you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Answer 2

Live event is not opening on teams

Answer 3

For a past Teams live event, the recording is only available if:

• Recording was enabled in the live event options, and
• The organizer’s recording policy allowed it.

For Teams live events produced in Teams, recordings are not stored in Microsoft Stream automatically. Producers and presenters can download the recording from the event details after the event.

To check and download the recording (if it exists):

1. Open Teams and go to Calendar.
2. Find and select the live event that took place on 10 Sep 2025.
3. In the event details, go to the Event resources section.
4. If a Live event recording is listed, select Download next to it to get the MP4 file.

If the recording is not listed there, then either the event was not recorded, or it has been deleted and is no longer recoverable through Teams.

If the recording was downloaded earlier and manually uploaded elsewhere (for example, to Microsoft Stream), contact the event organizer or producer to obtain a copy.
