Is there any way to download a read-only recording from a Teams class (without recording the screen)? I have a shared OneDrive of lecture recordings, some can be downloaded and some cannot.

Thanks for your help and stay safe.

You can download videos using ffmpeg.

Before following these instructions, Please install ffmpeg to your PC.

  1. Go to the recording URL. Now you can view the video but you have no option to download the video.

  2. open dev tools in the browser and go to the Network tab.

  3. Then reload the webpage again.

  4. In the network tab, search the following command using the search area.

    videomanifest?provider

search result

  1. click on the highlighted area and you can see the right panel is viewing some contents.

  2. Now you can find the URL under Request URL.

From my own testings I found out that:

  1. you can always download your own recordings (=they're located in your OneDrive)
  2. you can download if you are the meeting organizer (=recording is located in someone else's OneDrive but you can download nonetheless)

Test setup: 2 different Team meetings (scheduled from Outlook) within same organization, 1 with me as organizer, 1 with the other person - and then we both started a recording each. The organizer could always download.
