Microsoft Teams – Resolving error – “Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy : The term ‘Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.” – Executing Microsoft Teams PowerShell CMDLETs

Hi All,

Greetings for the day!!! Today new small issue and solution!!!

Background / Details :

• I was going through the Microsoft Teams major update – Teams Meeting Recordings Auto-Expiration in OneDrive and SharePoint
• Default auto expiration date for Teams recordings are 120 days
• We can update default expiration date by either using PowerShell or Microsoft Teams admin center
• So I went and tried with PowerShell using the cmdlet – Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy

Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity Global -NewMeetingRecordingExpirationDays 50

• On execution of the above CMDLET we got an error

Issue / Error :

Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy : The term ‘Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function,
script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is
correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1

Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity Global -NewMeetingRecordingExpirat …

CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Solution :

• By looking at error it seems Microsoft Teams module is not installed
• We need to install Microsoft Teams module by using Install-Module CMDLET as

Install-Module MicrosoftTeams

• Make sure MicrosoftTeams module installed successfully
• Once MicrosoftTeams module installed successfully, we are ready to execute our CMDLET
• To execute our CMDLET – Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy we need to connect to Microsoft Teams first using – Connect-MicrosoftTeams as

Connect-MicrosoftTeams
