M365 Changelog: Sensitive meetings to be excluded from Viva Insights metrics – Aug 28, 2024

MC876291 – End-users of Outlook have the ability to set a meeting to have a ‘Private’ or ‘Confidential’ sensitivity level in order to protect the information of a meeting they consider sensitive. To ensure that these meetings cannot be analyzed, Viva Insights would remove these meetings from metric computation.

When this will happen:

Microsoft will begin rolling this out in mid-September 2024 and expects to complete by mid-October 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

As this change begins rolling out, your organization will see the following updates:

• Sensitive meetings would be excluded from the output of Meeting Query
• Subjects of sensitive meetings would remain hidden and cannot be used in any query

What you need to do to prepare:

No action needed from your organization. You may consider updating your training and documentation as appropriate.
