Microsoft Teams: Personal meeting templates (Premium)

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Teams Premium introduces personal meeting templates, allowing users to pre-configure meeting options for quick scheduling. This streamlines meeting creation but requires security teams to ensure default templates align with organisational security policies.

The Impact

All users are affected, with a moderate risk of misconfigured meeting settings leading to unintended information exposure.

• End Users: May inadvertently use insecure templates, exposing sensitive information.
• Admins: Need to review and potentially restrict template creation or enforce secure defaults.
• Security Team: Must ensure templates align with data classification and sharing policies.

The Action

1. Review Microsoft Teams Premium licensing and feature rollout plans.
2. Assess current Teams meeting policies for guest access, recording, and lobby settings.
3. Develop internal guidance for users on creating secure personal meeting templates.
4. Consider using PowerShell to audit existing user-created templates for compliance (if API available).
5. Update security awareness training to include secure meeting template practices.
