M365 Changelog: (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Meeting Options categorization

MC726124 – Updated June 6, 2024: Microsoft has updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Meeting Options are a group of settings that organizers and co-organizers set on a per-meeting basis. Microsoft is introducing categories within Meeting Options to provide increased clarity within the information architecture of available options and help organizers and co-organizers configure their meetings according to their needs. The categories are available throughout the meeting lifecycle in Microsoft Teams.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 168523

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: Microsoft will begin rolling out early April 2024 and expects to complete by late-April 2024.

Standard Release (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, and DoD): Microsoft will begin rolling out late April 2024 and expects to complete by early July 2024 (previously late-May).

How this will affect your organization:

Default meeting options are still determined by an org’s IT admin, but organizers and co-organizers can override them for a specific meeting.
