Upcoming change: disabling Teams meeting recording notification emails

Starting June 1, 2026, Microsoft will disable Teams meeting recording expiration notification emails for all Microsoft 365 tenants. Recording expiration and deletion policies remain unchanged. No admin action is needed, but organizations can notify users or update documentation if desired.

Introduction

To reduce notification noise and improve signal quality, Microsoft will disable Teams Meeting Recording (TMR) expiration notification emails.
