Updated August 26, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
What and why
Microsoft Teams is introducing a new meeting protection policy that allows administrators to automatically block identified external meeting bots from joining Teams meetings.
Today, Teams can identify meeting bots and provide visibility to organizers and administrators. With this update, organizations can strengthen meeting security by configuring Teams policies to automatically block detected external meeting bots from joining meetings. This gives administrators additional control over how identified bots are handled and can help reduce organizational risk.
