If you’re meeting involves a screenshare or some kind of visual presentation, then video recordings make sense. That’s not every meeting, though. I can’t imagine many things being as boring as watching people talk in a meeting after the fact.
OneDrive retention presents several challenges due to the variety of items that reside there by default. Share a file in a Teams chat and collaborate on it? It’s in OneDrive. Upload a file for Copilot to summarize, which will be copied to OneDrive. Meeting recordings and notes? OneDrive. Items from your local desktop and documents folders? Likely synced to OneDrive.
Use OneNote to store notes that you want to keep as a historical record? Yeah, OneDrive.
How do you establish a single policy to cover the retention of all these different scenarios?
The Roadmap still lists a vast number of product updates that have nothing to do with AI. It’s inaccurate, which makes it confusing if you’re looking for updates on non-AI features. Then again, maybe it also proves that, to Microsoft, there are no non-AI features in the company any longer.
Hosting the meeting yourself and using Copilot is safer. It is also more expensive. Blocking external attendees from adding a note-taking application might also be a good idea, which might seem rude.
I’d argue that adding an app to a meeting you’re not hosting without asking is also rude, but that’s just my opinion.
I’m glad we can now record only the audio. It makes it slightly less intrusive to record a meeting that others may need to listen to later.
