About this tag
Meeting security on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft Teams controls for detecting and managing external AI notetaker bots and other automated participants. Recent discussions focus on new admin policies that route suspected bots to the meeting lobby, label them for organizers, and require explicit approval before they can join, even when lobby bypass is enabled. The content also covers the upcoming in-meeting "Report a concern" feature for flagging phishing, impersonation, and scams, which integrates with Defender investigation workflows. These changes reflect a shift in treating meetings as a security perimeter, where automated attendees are managed as software with access rights, and admins must test legitimate tools during rollout.
