Details:

Meeting recordings now automatically inherit the meeting’s sensitivity label. When label inheritance is enabled in sensitivity label policies, a labeled meeting applies the same label to its MP4 recording, ensuring access controls, data handling rules, and Copilot or agent responses based on transcripts consistently respect the meeting’s sensitivity end to end.
