In non-channel meetings the recording ownership goes to the first attendee from the hosting organization, who initiates the recording. This recording is stored on the user OneDrive but the owner of the meeting has access to it to share and download.

In channel meetings the recording ownership goes to the first attendee from the hosting organization, who initiates the recording. This recording is stored in the channel document library and accessible to all the channel members.
