Teams meeting recording is owned by the first person who joins the call, NOT the meeting organizer. Bug?

I'm joining this thread late after a search as I'm having the same problem. This configuration - the first attendee owning the recording - is completely nonsensical. You should be taking this to the product team to fix because it is a really bad product configuration.

It make sense that initiated-recordings are owned by the initiator, but auto-record meetings should be owned by the organiser. Reason being that they will be the one who set the need for a recording in the first place (by setting to auto record) and they will almost always want control over access subsequently (sharing the recording).

Our organisation has 100k employees and sessions regularly get forwarded outside of our area of the organisation. It makes no sense that the first attendee has to field all the requests for access subsequently, or that the organiser has to track down whoever happened to join first to discuss sharing settings and access after the meeting.

Hello A. User,

Can you explain the following statement?

In the meantime i want to mention that the organiser is assigned edit permissions if the recording was auto-started by an attendee.

How do we access this? I can't find the recording anywhere.

If you were invited to the meeting that was recorded, you may still have access unless something has happened with the permissions, like the owner (first person to start the meeting) has changed the permissions. Go to your stream profile (if you're signed into Microsoft, just go to stream.com or click on stream in your 365 account. Every recording you have access to can be found there.

I'm in the same boat with you - we have to have every recording accounted for as a PM where I work.
I have been using the workaround of making others use the lobby, which is helpful but annoying that it has to be done to protect the artifacts for my projects. Microsoft, please fix this!

Microsoft really needs to fix this completely backwards process. I have people in my organization who join 10 minutes early on Teams meetings and they end up owning the recording. As a project manager who needs to have access to my project's artifacts, this is a huge issue. I'll use the workaround of using the lobby, but I find it odd that Microsoft, of all companies, can't figure out how to do this properly and/or they don't have the insight on how backwards this process is.
