Summary

The "WatermarkWithDisplayNameAndIP" value for Teams meeting policy will retire on October 27, 2024. Organizations using it should note that only "WatermarkWithDisplayName" and "JoinWithAudioOnly" will be supported thereafter. No action is required, but admins should update documentation and inform their teams.

Details

We will retire the Microsoft PowerShell command value WatermarkWithDisplayNameAndIP for WatermarkForAnonymousUsers for the Microsoft Teams meeting policy on October 27, 2024. We will continue to support the values WatermarkWithDisplayName (the default value) and JoinWithAudioOnly.

How this will affect your organization:

You are receiving this message because our reporting indicates your organization may be using the WatermarkWithDisplayNameAndIP value for WatermarkForAnonymousUsers in your Teams meeting policy settings.

Admins will receive an error if they attempt to use WatermarkWithDisplayNameAndIP after this change is implemented.

What you need to do to prepare:

This change will happen automatically by the specified date. No admin action is required. Please notify your admins of this change and update relevant documentation.

Learn more: PowerShell Gallery | MicrosoftTeams 6.5.0 (will be updated before the policy retires)
