MC274188 – Updated April 29, 2022: Microsoft has begun rolling this out and will be monitoring customer reported issues to ensure a smooth deployment.
To ensure the best experience Microsoft has postponed the start of final stage of this change until late March. The final stage is the part of the feature that actually stamps the expiration date on the file and physically deletes the file based on that stamped expiration date.

For any tenant that does not have a custom policy in place already, Microsoft is updating the default expiration days from 60 to 120 days. Microsoft is making this update based on new statistics that show on average across all tenants, less than 1% of recordings are watching after 120 vs 5% after 60 days.
As a reminder if you want to override the default setting you can do so in the Teams Admin center or by setting NewMeetingRecordingExpirationDays in PowerShell.
As part of the evolution of the new Stream (built on SharePoint), Microsoft is introducing the meeting recording auto-expiration feature, which will automatically delete Teams recording files stored in OneDrive or SharePoint after a preset period of time. Admins can disable this feature if desired.
Key points

How this will affect your organization:
New recordings will automatically expire 120 days after they are recorded if no action is taken, except for A1 users who will receive a max 30-day default setting. The 120-day default was chosen because, on average across all tenants, 99%+ of meeting recordings are never watched again after 120 days. However, this setting can be modified if a different expiration timeline is desired.
Users can also modify the expiration date for any recordings on which they have edit/delete permissions, using the files details pane in OneDrive or SharePoint.
