Microsoft Teams: Presenter Chat while screensharing

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Teams presenters can now access meeting chat directly while screen sharing. This improves collaboration but introduces a potential for distraction or accidental information exposure during presentations.

The Impact

All users are affected, with a low security risk of unintentional information exposure.

• Presenters: Risk of accidental chat exposure during screen share.
• Attendees: May see unintended chat content if presenter is not careful.
• Organisations: Minor risk of policy violation if sensitive data is in chat.

The Action

1. Educate users on the new feature and best practices for screen sharing.
2. Remind users to be mindful of chat content when presenting sensitive information.
3. Review existing screen sharing policies for any necessary updates.
