- 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.
Attention: Recording settings allow you to restrict recording capabilities to Owner/ Co owner
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.

If someone forgets to leave the meeting, the recording automatically ends after four hours, but a new recording will begin.
