The situationStorage or upload limits demand the smallest honest file. The recording lives in Microsoft Teams.

The chain

Get the recording out of Microsoft Teams

Meeting recordings save to the organizer's OneDrive ('Recordings' folder) or the channel's SharePoint; download the MP4 from there. Tenant retention policies can auto-delete recordings — export before the policy window closes.

Cut the silence

Compress what remains

Opus mono on the tightened audio: the minimum bytes that keep every word.

What you end up with: The smallest file that still says everything.
