(1) If you record or organize a meeting, you can share the recording with people who have not been invited to the meeting – just share it like any other file. Just find the file in OneDrive or SharePoint and share it directly with others, or copy the link and share it as you like.
(2) If you are not the person who recorded or organized the meeting, you can still share the recording with people who have not been invited to the meeting. However, the meeting organizer or meeting recorder needs to approve your sharing operation before others can gain access.

Even if the person who started the recording leaves, the recording will continue, and once everyone leaves the meeting, the recording will stop. Besides, if someone forgets to leave the meeting, the recording will automatically end after four hours.
2. Only the meeting organizer and the person who started the recording can edit or download the recording. But everyone invited to the meeting can view the recording.
