| MC726122 | (Updated) Microsoft Teams: View, download, and delete Microsoft OneDrive transcript files | Updated April 4, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. We are beginning the process to standardize all transcript storage to OneDrive, starting with the storage of transcripts for meetings that only have transcription enabled. Previously, meetings with only transcription enabled saved the transcript file to the meeting organizer's Exchange Online, while meetings with both recording and transcription enabled saved two transcript copies-one that is coupled with the recording saved to OneDrive and another transcript copy saved to the meeting organizer's Exchange Online. Now with this feature, meetings that have only transcription enabled will also save two copies (one in OneDrive and one in Exchange Online), but all meeting transcript entry points in Teams app will point to the OneDrive copy only, no entry points for meeting transcripts will source from the Exchange Online copy. At the same time, meeting transcripts will stop saving in Exchange Online altogether and all transcript storage will be standardized on OneDrive only. The rollout of this feature also improves both the experience of meeting organizers to manually delete the transcript, as well as the ability for IT administrators to apply retention policies to the transcripts from meetings that only had transcription enabled. A summary of the deletion experience for meeting transcripts is captured in the following table: UserType of transcript deletionPrevious experienceNew Experience with this feature rollout Meeting organizer/co-organizer Manually from Teams appOnly deleted Exchange Online transcript fileDeletes both copies of the transcript file from OneDrive and Exchange Online Meeting organizer/co-organizerManually from StreamOnly deletes the transcript file stored in OneDriveOnly deletes the transcript file stored in OneDrive IT AdministratorRetention policies in Teams Admin CenterOnly available for copies saved in OneDrive, so only applicable to meetings with recording turned on.Now the retention policy is also applicable to meetings with only transcription enabled and to the transcript file saved in OneDrive.
