Any Teams meeting or call can be recorded to capture audio, video, and screen sharing activity. The recording happens in the cloud, and it is saved so you can share it securely.

Play a Meeting Recording
If you were part of the meeting, go to the chat history (or channel conversation, if it was a channel meeting) in Teams and click on the meeting recording to play it.
You can also select More actions (...) on the meeting recording and choose Open in OneDrive if it was a chat meeting, or Open in SharePoint if it was a channel meeting.
Channel Meetings
For channel meetings, the recording will be stored in a Recordings folder in the Files tab for the channel. The meeting recording shows up in the meeting chat—or in the channel conversation, if you’re meeting in a channel. These links are available for seven days.
The Files tab stores all files in a SharePoint site and document library for the channel. Everyone who is a part of the channel will have permission to edit and view the recording.
All other meetings
For non-channel meetings, the recording will be stored in the Recordings folder in the OneDrive directory of the person who started the recording.
Share a Meeting Recording
If you recorded or organized the meeting, you can share the recording with people who weren't invited to the meeting—by just sharing it like you would share any other file. Just find the file in OneDrive or SharePoint and share it directly with people or copy a link and share it however you like.
If you weren't the person who recorded or organized the meeting, you can still share the recording with people who weren't invited to the meeting. However, the meeting organizer or the meeting recorder will need to approve your share action before other people will get access.

Privacy
Before recording a Microsoft Teams meeting, it is best to get everyone's permission, or at least notify them of the recording.
When a meeting recording starts, Teams shows a notification to all participants on the Teams desktop, web, and mobile apps, as well as to people who joined via phone.
