Microsoft Teams phone devices: Explicit Consent meeting recording policy

With the Explicit Consent recording meeting policy, if enabled by their admin, users will see a notification pop-up on Microsoft Teams phone devices when someone initiates recording or transcription before or during a meeting. This pop-up will ask for the consent of the participants.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 396777.

When will this happen

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out in mid-July 2024 and expect to complete by late July 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

This feature will be supported on all personal user phones and conference room phones including touch and non-touch devices.

The feature will be disabled by default. Admins will have the option to turn on this policy for users in their tenant by clicking on the highlighted switch on Require participant agreement for recording and transcription.
