For normal scheduled meetings it's in the OneDrive of whoever pressed record, inside a folder named "Recordings". Channel meetings save to the channel's SharePoint document library instead. The meeting chat also links to it.

Yes. Trustample only needs the MP4 file, not any Teams feature. If you can download the recording, you can transcribe it. (Follow your company's data-handling policies for meeting content, of course.)

Yes. A 2-hour all-hands sits comfortably inside Basic's 3-hour per-file cap, and Pro stretches to 6 hr 40 min for the truly long quarterly reviews. Free covers files up to 30 minutes, enough for a recorded stand-up. Either way the transcript arrives in minutes, not hours.

When a Teams recording passes its retention date it moves to the recycle bin of the OneDrive or SharePoint site that held it, where owners and admins can restore it for a limited time.

Yes. Any Teams event that produces a downloadable MP4 transcribes the same way, whatever Microsoft calls the format. For large broadcast events where the goal is repurposing the content afterwards, the webinar transcription workflow covers turning the replay into posts, captions and an FAQ.

Yes, on every paid plan: speaker diarization labels voices as Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on, and you can rename them ("Priya", "CFO"), and the labels update through the whole transcript.
