Teams Adds Explicit Consent for Recorded Meetings

In January, Microsoft released a post talking about the road map for Microsoft Teams to include explicit recording consent for Teams meetings. This appears to be a policy that needs to be applied.

The Teams’ meeting window will then request an explicit consent of all participants to be recorded. Before a user gives consent the user’s audio, video and screenshare/consent- share won't be captured in the meeting recording.

The new feature is a computer-enforced version with some added intelligence. This will help to provide a more consistent experience for your company’s meetings.

This can’t be done through the Teams admin center today, so you’ll need to update Teams meeting policies with PowerShell. The policy setting is per-user and applies to the meeting organizer. After the setting is enabled in a meeting policy, any meeting organized by accounts assigned to the policy will use explicit consent for recorded meetings.

For more information on how to do this take a look at this article by Tony Redmond of Office 365 IT Pros.
