How to change the expiration date for Teams Meeting Recordings

One of the housekeeping items I encourage individual users and Admins to do is adjust the duration that Teams recording is kept in SharePoint/OneDrive.

Many users assume it is kept there indefinitely, but this is not the case. Video files take up quite a bit of storage space. Multiply each file by the number of meetings you have, and you get the idea. Luckily, there is a way for both Admins and individual team members to adjust the duration/threshold, and that is what I want to explain in this post.
