(Updated) Microsoft Teams: Teams Events Attendance and Engagement Report Policy

🚨 The Signal: Admins can now independently control attendance and engagement reporting for Microsoft Teams Events, separate from regular Teams Meetings. This allows for more granular data privacy and compliance management for large-scale events.

The Impact

Teams administrators are affected, with a low security risk related to potential over-sharing of event attendance data if not configured.

• Teams Admins: Must configure new policy for Teams Events to control data sharing.
• Event Organizers: May have different reporting access for events versus meetings.
• Data Privacy: Risk of unintended data exposure if new policy is not reviewed.

The Action

1. Review existing CsTeamsMeetingPolicy settings for attendance and engagement reports.
2. Plan configuration for the new CsTeamsEventsPolicy to align with organizational data privacy and reporting requirements.
3. Utilise PowerShell cmdlet 'Set-CsTeamsEventsPolicy' to configure the new policy for Teams Events.
4. Communicate changes to event organizers regarding their access to attendance reports for Teams Events.
