Dear SkypetoTeamsFrustrations
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum.
I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced during the transition from Skype to Microsoft Teams. I truly understand how frustrating it must be to find that your valuable recordings appear to have expired. Your concerns are completely valid, and I appreciate your patience as we work through this together.
I've gathered some information that I hope will provide clarity and assist you in resolving the issue:
For more details, please refer to this article: Skype is retiring in May 2025: What you need to know - Microsoft Support
In typical scenarios, expired recordings in Microsoft Teams are moved to the Recycle Bin of the associated OneDrive or SharePoint site. If you haven’t already, could you please check the relevant OneDrive or SharePoint location to see if the expired recording is still recoverable?
To better assist you, may I kindly ask for a few clarifications:
Question 1: Regarding the expired recording:
Are you still able to locate the recording, and can you interact with it (e.g., play, download), or is it greyed out and inaccessible?
Have you tried recording a meeting in Teams after the transition? If so, does the recording behave similarly to those from Skype?
Question 2: You mentioned issues starting meeting invites from existing chats:
Could you please describe the issue in more detail? Are there any error messages or unexpected behaviors?
A screenshot of the situation would be greatly appreciated to help us understand better.
Question 3: Are these issues occurring across all platforms (web, desktop app, mobile app), or are they specific to one?

Please note that as forum moderators, we do not have access to internal databases due to privacy constraints. This means we are unable to view transition logs or perform backend checks on your behalf. Like you, our testing environment is limited to end-user capabilities.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. It helps us gain a clearer understanding of your experience and allows us to guide you toward an accurate solution.
Thank you again for your understanding and for giving us the opportunity to assist you. I look forward to your response.
