Microsoft Teams is introducing a new policy setting that requires explicit user consent before recording or transcription can begin in calls. With this update, administrators can enforce consent through Teams Calling policies, ensuring that recordings and transcripts do not start until all participants have agreed. When recording or transcription is initiated, the other participant is automatically muted with camera and content sharing disabled until consent is provided, strengthening privacy protections for sensitive conversations. This feature is rolling out in January 2026 for GCC High and DoD environments.
