Microsoft is changing the location where Microsoft Teams meeting recordings are stored. After 7th July 2021, recordings of your Microsoft Teams meetings will be stored either in Teams Channel or OneDrive which previously were automatically stored in Microsoft Stream (Ref: Use OneDrive for Business and SharePoint for meeting recordings - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Docs ). As a result, location of the meeting recording will be changed as follows:
...
Recordings for Scheduled Meetings in a Teams Channel
For meetings scheduled in a Teams Channel including your online/remote classes, or started using Meet Now in a Teams Channel, your recorded lecture videos will be stored in the files section of that Channel under a folder called Recordings (Eg: Teams name - Channel name/Documents/Recordings) .It will be available to all members of that particular Team. Lecturers are responsible to publish/share the link of recorded lecture videos on relevant section in Moodle Platform and ensure the videos are accessible not less than 6 month from the published date.
...
Recordings for Scheduled Meetings NOT in a Teams Channel
Recordings of regular meetings not scheduled in a Teams Channel, including 1-on-1 calls and multi-person chats, will be stored in a folder called Recordings in the OneDrive of the person who started the recording (eg: recorder's OneDrive for Business/Recordings). The recording will automatically be shared with all APU participants of the meeting including students. If there were external participants to the meeting, a link to the recording must be manually shared with them via the normal OneDrive/SharePoint sharing mechanism.

Why the change?
This change brings some improvements to the way videos are stored and shared:

Provides the ability to share recordings with external users.
Saved recordings will be made available more quickly than those currently being saved to Stream.
