Teams meeting recordings no longer adding to Stream?

[mrhall]

Dear All,

 

We've got an A1 plus licence - seems that during the summer Microsoft has downgraded things so that

-> the recordings of meetings no longer upgrade to Stream

-> teachers cannot delete the recording

-> we could download them and then re-upload to Stream - but this seems like a lot of work!

Anyone found the same?

 

Thanks

This was in the MS information back in August that on the 20th Aug it would not automatically be saving to Stream but it will stay in the users history for 20 days so they can download the file and then upload it.

 

Can understand why as lots of resources were being used by people recording a meeting that might not have been needed.

In order:

 

Yes

Not that's been reported

Yes.

 

 

This was communicated to 365 admins....

I just had a meeting the other day and we recorded it and it saved to Stream. Is this only with the A1 licences? Or does it apply to all of Office 365?

Anyone know the package we upgrade for this to work as before.

 

Also, here the videos were not made available for students, instead kept for safeguarding reasons. However now the video is there for all and from what I can see at the moment cannot be deleted off the feed by the teacher.

EDIT: It'll say recording unexpectedly ended and offer to download it and not sync to stream.

 

We have this issue, a MS guy took screen recording and wireshark logs whilst it went wrong. And is looking into it.

btw, the issue has occurred in the middle of a different support call with Microsoft. This is where some teams recordings would not playback on some IOS devices, the support guy at MS said that the stream record guys rolled back an encoding optimization that caused that issue and wanted to verify the fix. Now this stream upload problem occurred.

 

yay!

Staff could download the recording, and upload to streams, but even for one teacher this is a reasonably significant piece of work (and please please hope no-one suggests us IT support just do everyones!)

 

Deleting - best solution we can think of - is to create a new channel, host the meeting within the channel - and then delete the channel if necessary.

 

Sigh. This isn't really what we're hoping for.

Yep - that's their message.

 

Doesn't say anything about deleting - so other than adding to a channel and then removing the channel - can't see a way to do this.

 

When I first read the "meetings won't be uploaded automatically to streams" I was hopeful it would be a setting we could apply so that meetings "could" be uploaded - but sadly not, unless you download them first....

[Boredguy]

So are you wanting to delete the recording before the 21 days is up?

There doesn't appear to be anyway to do that, same as there isn't anything visible to remove a previous meeting from the channel.

 

Certainly the fact that a recording won't go for 21 days is fine by us as all staff have to record any meeting with a student present, and it means they can wait to move it to MS Stream til they have free time.
