How does storage quota work?
Videos consume the existing file storage quota from OneDrive and SharePoint.
Teams meeting recordings make up most of many customers’ video files. The fact that meeting recordings shifted heavily to OneDrive means most meetings don’t consume your SharePoint storage quota. If you need more storage, you need to purchase storage for SharePoint.
Teams meeting recordings make up most of many customers' Stream (Classic) storage. (One of our large customers shared with us after running the Stream (Classic) inventory report, that 90% of their storage was from old meeting recordings). The fact that meeting recordings shifted heavily to OneDrive means most meetings don't consume your SharePoint storage quota.
Customers who migrate videos from Stream (Classic) to Stream (on SharePoint) are not getting granted extra storage. If you need more storage, you need to purchase storage for SharePoint.

Then they can act on all files within it.
