  • The recording is then processed (which can take some time), saved to Microsoft Stream, and is ready to play.
  • The person who started the recording receives an email from Microsoft Stream when the recording is available.
    • It also shows up in the meeting chat or the channel if you are meeting in a channel. 
Note: In addition to storing the recording on Microsoft Stream, Microsoft will provide a link to the recording in the meeting chat, available for seven days. Recording continues even if the person who started the recording has left the meeting. The recording stops automatically once everyone leaves the meeting. If someone forgets to leave the meeting, the recording automatically ends after four hours, but a new recording will begin.
