Sharing Teams meeting recordings in D2L

Expand all   |   Collapse all  

If you are recording in an IT Teams issued site, the recording is saved in the channel as well as in the Recordings folder in OneDrive or Files tab in the class Teams site.  Your students will be able to access the recording in both locations. 

There are differences between a Teams meeting recorded in channel versus Teams meeting recorded in Outlook. 

If you are recording outside of the Teams class site (i.e., using scheduled meeting in Outlook Calendar), it is possible to share the video recording with students in D2L.
