Can a deleted cloud recording be recovered?

Generally no once retention expires. Record locally as a second channel for critical meetings and download when you get expiry warnings.

How accurate is meeting transcription?

90%+ for clear microphone speech; 70–85% for far-field pickup and overlapping talkers. Names, numbers and jargon are the main edit points.

Exporting Meeting Recordings from DingTalk, Tencent Meeting and Feishu

All three apps prefer cloud storage for recordings. Exports are mostly MP4 video and M4A audio; some versions only offer online playback or share links, so the download path is worth knowing in advance.

Where recordings live

DingTalk: group chat → group settings → live replays/cloud drive; or Me → Meetings → Recordings. MP4/M4A, downloadable.
Tencent Meeting: client Recording list or web console → cloud recordings. MP4/M4A, downloadable from web.
Feishu: Meetings → cloud recordings; Minutes is a separate product with online transcripts and exportable audio.

Cloud retention and permissions

Recordings past the retention window get deleted — download before expiry. Check the "allow download" permission before sharing anything sensitive. For critical meetings, run local recording alongside cloud recording.

The post-export chain

Compress for archive: slide-heavy meetings hold CRF 25–28 well; an hour typically drops from 1–2 GB to 300–600 MB.
Mute for confidentiality: keep the picture, drop the audio track.
Transcribe to minutes: feed the video directly to local speech recognition (audio is extracted automatically) and edit names, figures and action items.
