MC297030 – Updated November 18, 2021: Microsoft has updated the content below with additional details. Thank you for your patience.
Administrators will be able to control the ability for anonymous users to join a Microsoft Teams meeting using a new per-organizer policy.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 87503.
When this will happen:
Microsoft will begin rolling this out in mid-November and expected to complete in late November.
How this will affect your organization:
This policy will provide administrators more granular control by enabling them to allow specific users, or groups of users to admit anonymous users into meetings they organize.
The new per-organizer policy is controlled using the -AllowAnonymousUsersToJoinMeeting parameter in Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy This comes with Teams PowerShell version 2.6.0 and later.
To assist with the transition from the old tenant-wide setting to the new policy, there are two phases to this rollout.
You learn read more about the co-existence of the setting & meeting policies during Phase 1 here.
What you need to do to prepare:
Please consider updating policies for your users and updating your internal documentation and training guides.
