• New policy setting to require explicit consent for recording and transcription in Teams 1:1 calls: We're expanding the capability to require explicit consent for recording and transcription to include 1:1 calls in Microsoft Teams. A new setting in the Teams Calling policy allows enforcement of this requirement through the admins before recording or transcription can begin. When a user with the policy initiates recording, transcription, or both in a 1:1 call, the other participant is automatically muted, with their camera and content-sharing turned off. The participant will see a prompt asking whether they consent to be included in the recording and transcription.

Teams Admin: February 11
GCC Customers:

• Microsoft Teams: Permission and privilege level of apps and agents: TToday, IT admins in the Teams admin center can view the permissions requested by an app or agent—These permissions define what organizational data the app can access. This feature enhances that experience by showing the risk rating of each permission and the overall privilege level of the app or agent, helping admins better secure organizational data and make faster, more-informed approval decisions.
• Teams admin center - Troubleshoot meetings and calls with automatic issue identification and recommendations: Administrators can troubleshoot Teams meetings and calls in Teams admin center with ease with a streamlined flow (that focuses on the meeting-quality issues) and detailed telemetry.
