About this tag
Teams admin policies covers the administrative controls Microsoft provides for governing how Microsoft Teams behaves across an organization. The tagged content focuses on a meeting policy that automatically blocks identified external bots, including third-party AI note-takers and transcription tools, from joining meetings. That option is off by default and requires an administrator to enable and assign it before anything changes in a tenant. It builds on earlier lobby-based bot detection, shifting the burden away from organizers who previously had to remove each detected bot manually. The recurring theme is practical policy enforcement, along with its limits: Teams can only block bots it can identify, so such policies reduce exposure without guaranteeing every participant is human.
