Updated June 10, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. Introduction We are introducing a new PowerShell control that allows administrators to manage Teams Meeting Recording (TMR) expiration and deletion notification emails across the tenant. This update is based on customer feedback indicating a strong preference to continue receiving notifications while also requesting an option to disable them. This change provides greater administrative control while maintaining the default experience that helps users stay informed When this will happen Commercial clouds: Rollout began May 29, 2026; completed June 2, 2026 Sovereign clouds (GCC, GCC High, DoD): Available now. How this affects your organization Who is affected: SharePoint Administrators and Global Administrators managing Teams Meeting Recordings Platforms/Services: Microsoft Teams SharePoint Online PowerShell (SharePoint Online Management Shell) What will happen: A new PowerShell setting is available to control notification emails for Teams meeting recording expiration and deletion Notifications remain enabled by default; no action is required to maintain the current behavior. Admins can disable notifications tenant-wide using a PowerShell cmdlet. There is no impact to recording expiration or deletion behavior—only the notification emails are affected. This setting applies at the tenant level only; per-user configuration is not supported. Action Required / Recommendations No action is required if you want to continue receiving Teams meeting recording notification emails If you prefer to disable notifications, follow these steps: Ensure you are using the latest version of the SharePoint Online Management Shell: Download from the SharePoint Online Management Shell page Note that: The installer is Windows-only For non-Windows environments, use a Windows VM or Azure Virtual Desktop Verify you have required permissions: SharePoint Administrator or Global Administrator Review and update internal documentation if you reference recording notifications Inform helpdesk/support teams about this new control option To disable notifications: Connect-SPOService -Url https://<your-tenant>-admin.sharepoint.com</your-tenant> Set-SPOTenant -DisableTeamsMeetingRecordingDeletedNotification $true To verify the setting: Get-SPOTenant | Format-List *Recording* (Get-SPOTenant).DisableTeamsMeetingRecordingDeletedNotification To re-enable notifications: Set-SPOTenant -DisableTeamsMeetingRecordingDeletedNotification $false
