Corporate and upAdmins decide whether people can edit their messages and for how long, whether members and guests can delete their own, and whether admins can delete anyone's, with a log of what they removed. For calls, they decide whether recording is on, who can start and stop one, whether transcripts and notes are made, and when recordings are deleted.
For Regulated teams, and any admin who's been asked what happened to a message.
Like the settings in Slack and Teams, these apply everywhere in the workspace, in channels and DMs, and changing them doesn't touch messages already sent. People can edit their messages any time, never, or for up to 5 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day or 1 week after sending. Members and guests can delete their own, or only owners and admins can. Owners and admins can delete anyone's message in public channels and the private channels they're in, never in DMs.
When an admin deletes someone else's message, the message and its files go and Message deleted by an admin stays in its place. Deleted by admins lists the last 100 such messages: who deleted it, whose it was, which channel, when, and whether it was in a thread or had files. What the message said isn't kept. Read receipts have their own switches: off, in DMs and small groups, or everywhere, and whether people can turn their own off.

Let people record huddles and meetings is on by default; turning it off stops new recordings without deleting old ones. Who can start and stop recordings: everyone in the call, whoever started it plus hosts and co-hosts, or only hosts and co-hosts. Owners and admins always count as hosts, and guests can't record. Transcripts and AI notes have their own switch, and Transcribe every huddle posts notes from every huddle, with everyone in it told.
In the Admin Center, Delete recordings keeps them until someone deletes them, or removes them after 30, 90 or 365 days, which also frees storage without anyone tidying up. Sharing a meeting's notes and transcript outside the workspace is off by default; when you turn it on, you choose whether guests are emailed the notes, how many days the links work, and whether a link may play the recording. Turning these on asks for a tap on your phone if it approves sign-ins.
Message and recording rules is included in Corporate and Enterprise. Editing, deletion and recording permissions work on every plan; deleting recordings after a set time needs Corporate.
