Microsoft Teams: Default meeting templates

🚨 The Signal: Admins can now enforce default Teams meeting settings, including security options, for all users. This standardises meeting security posture, reducing manual configuration errors and ensuring consistent protection.

The Impact

Admins are affected by new configuration options, reducing the risk of users creating insecure meetings.

• Security Teams: Reduced risk from misconfigured meetings.
• Admins: New tools to enforce meeting security policies.
• End Users: Consistent and secure meeting defaults.
• Organisers: Less manual configuration for secure meetings.

The Action

1. Review existing meeting policies and identify desired default security settings.
2. Acquire Microsoft Teams Premium licenses for meeting organisers.
3. Navigate to Teams Admin Center > Meetings > Meeting policies.
4. Create or modify a meeting policy to define default meeting templates.
5. Assign the policy to relevant users or groups.
