About this tag
The Teams admin policy tag covers discussions about configuring Microsoft Teams settings through administrative policies, particularly regarding data retention and file management. A recurring theme is how Teams admin policies control the automatic expiration of meeting recordings, which are stored in OneDrive or SharePoint. Users often find recordings missing because they have been moved to the recycle bin based on these policies.

The tag also touches on the broader challenge of managing collaboration data across Microsoft 365 services, where Teams acts as the front end but actual file storage and governance occur elsewhere.
