Microsoft Teams Recording Retention

When you create a new Microsoft Teams Recording, an expiration date is set by Microsoft to help maintain the space used for video storage. As the video owner you do have options to change this retention time. There are three different options that you may choose. LTS recommends option two. This option helps us maintain our Microsoft storage limits at recommend levels. 

Option One

Your first option is to leave the expiration date alone and the video will be deleted after 60 days.
