Microsoft Teams: Copilot in Teams can analyze content shared on-screen during a meeting

🚨 The Signal: Copilot in Teams can now analyse content shared on-screen during recorded meetings. This expands Copilot's data access, enabling summarisation and content generation from visual information, increasing data exposure risk.

The Impact

All users are affected, as Copilot's expanded data access increases the risk of inadvertent exposure of sensitive information shared on screen.

  • End users: Risk of oversharing sensitive data via screen share, now processed by Copilot.
  • Security teams: Increased scope for data loss prevention (DLP) and monitoring requirements.
  • Compliance officers: New considerations for data handling and retention policies with AI processing.
  • Admins: Need to review and potentially update Copilot and Teams meeting policies.

The Action

  1. Review existing Microsoft Teams meeting policies for recording and transcription settings via Teams Admin Center > Meetings > Meeting policies.
  2. Assess Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to ensure screen-shared content is adequately protected when processed by Copilot.
  3. Communicate updated best practices to end-users regarding sharing sensitive information during recorded meetings with Copilot enabled.
  4. Monitor Microsoft 365 audit logs for Copilot activities related to meeting content analysis.
