MS-700 Monitor, Report on, and Troubleshoot Teams Practice Question
You are the Teams administrator for Contoso. An executive reports that a Teams meeting recording from a critical board meeting is not appearing in the meeting chat and cannot be found in SharePoint or OneDrive. The meeting was scheduled by the executive and had 12 participants. The recording was started by a participant who is a member of the organization. Where should you first check to locate the recording file?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming recordings always go to the meeting organizer's OneDrive, but they actually go to the OneDrive of the person who initiates the recording.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The OneDrive for Business of the participant who started the recording
Teams meeting recordings are stored based on the meeting type and who starts the recording. For regular (non-channel) meetings, the recording is saved to the OneDrive for Business of the person who clicked Record. The organizer's OneDrive or a team's SharePoint site are incorrect unless the meeting was a channel meeting or the organizer started the recording. Microsoft Stream is not the default storage location for new recordings.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The Microsoft Stream portal under My content
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Stream (Classic) was retired for new Teams recordings; current Teams recordings are stored in SharePoint or OneDrive. The Stream portal no longer hosts new meeting recordings by default. Checking Stream would not locate the recording unless the tenant still uses legacy Stream, which is not indicated.
- ✗
The SharePoint site of the team channel where the meeting was posted
Why it's wrong here
Channel meeting recordings are stored in the SharePoint site of the channel. However, the scenario states the meeting was scheduled by the executive, not necessarily posted to a channel. Without confirmation that it was a channel meeting, this is not the first place to check. The recording location depends on how the meeting was created.
- ✓
The OneDrive for Business of the participant who started the recording
Why this is correct
For non-channel meetings, the recording is saved to the OneDrive of the person who initiated the recording. Since a participant started the recording, the file will be in that participant's OneDrive under the Recordings folder. This is the correct first location to check to find the missing recording.
- ✗
The OneDrive for Business of the meeting organizer
Why it's wrong here
For meetings not set to record to a channel, recordings are stored in the OneDrive of the person who started the recording, not the organizer. The organizer's OneDrive would only contain the recording if the organizer initiated it. Since a participant started the recording, checking the organizer's OneDrive will not locate the file.
