Microsoft Teams: Explicit recording consent for PSTN participants now available in GCC High and DoD

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Teams now requires explicit consent for PSTN participants to unmute and speak when a meeting is recorded or transcribed in GCC High and DoD clouds. This enhances compliance by ensuring all participants acknowledge recording.

The Impact

PSTN users in GCC High/DoD are affected, reducing legal and privacy risk for organisations.

• PSTN users: Must provide consent to participate when recorded.
• Meeting Organisers: May need to inform PSTN guests of new consent prompts.
• Compliance Teams: Reduced risk of non-compliance with recording consent.
• Legal Teams: Stronger evidence of consent for recorded meetings.

The Action

1. Communicate to meeting organisers and PSTN participants about the new consent requirement.
2. Update internal meeting policies to reflect explicit PSTN consent for recordings.
