Hi,
A college recorded and sent a short video clip in Teams chat. The clip was recorded by a mobile device directly from the recording function in Teams chat: Send a video clip in Teams - Microsoft Support
I can view the video clip the Teams chat, but I want to download the file. The file is not in the "file" tab in the chat.
How can I download the video file from the chat?
Thank you!

I had the same issue today on the Teams Desktop app.
My annoying workaround was also to open the mobile app and first press play to view the video in fullscreen. Then a share button appears on the top right corner. Pressed that and shared it to my OneDrive. Not pretty.
When I do this, it drops a .jpeg file, not a recording
Just had the same problem:
For a video recording someone had sent me (NOT A MEETING RECORDING!). Try opening the chat on teams mobile app, then hold the video and tap share video, select outlook and send it to yourself.
Not amazing, but seems to work for me
What's ridiculous is i've found a "download transcript" option for the closed captions... but I can't download the video? URGH!!!
I used the Android version of Teams: (Android 13)
From there one can watch or re-share the video-files.
