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

This behavior is bass akwards. The meeting owner should be the owner of the recording regardless of who hits the record button. further, the meeting organizer should be able to set configs as a default that can be over-ridden on a meeting per meeting basis impacting:

• can the meeting be recorded at all
• who can start/stop the recording
• to whom a link to the recording should be pushed post-meeting automatically
• where that meeting will be archived

By the way, meeting owners should also be the only ones who can add attendees... the non standard "forward invite" creates havoc for rescheduled/canceled meetings and is the social equiv of bringing your someone that every one hates to a party they weren't invited to... and they probably hate them because they are always the first to hit the record button and hijack the meeting recording from the host!

We have the exact same problem here.

Let me further complicate the issue by saying that if someone creates the meeting 'Sending-As' a shared mailbox, it'll allow only that Shared mailbox to access and edit the recording/transcript, but not the actual person that sent it.

Microsoft, this is BROKEN and you have about 600 highly irritated people at my organization right now.

Hello Christina,
thank you for your Response.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
I will see what can i do to report your Suggestion as i'm an independent advisor.

In the meantime i want to mention that the organiser is assigned edit permissions if the recording was auto-started by an attendee. This means the organiser can download the recording and share it even though the file is not in the organiser’s OneDrive.
Best Regards

Hi Amro,

Thanks for your reply. How does that make sense? In Zoom, we were able to set up a meeting with automatic recording to the cloud AND allow users to bypass a lobby. It would be saved to the Organizer's cloud storage.

If I am the Owner of a meeting, I should own all of the meeting options for it. Is this something you can pitch to your team to be fixed in the future? It really doesn't make any sense (and is not mentioned in the Meeting Options) that an attendee would have the recording and not the meeting organizer who is the only person able to even activate the record function.

Zoom figured it out so I can imagine MSFT should be able to too.

Thanks,

Christina

here is a tip that only work if you are certain you will attend the meeting,

change the lobby behaviour. Change Who can bypass the lobby to ‘Only me’. All attendees will wait in a lobby till you join the meeting and admit everyone from the lobby. The meeting will start recording automatically from the time that you join. The meeting recording will then be saved into your OneDrive.
