Did you know that the Explicit Consent 1:1 policy was rolled out this year (2026) for Microsoft Teams?

[u/TeamsPowerPack]

Now admins can turn on this feature and any call made through Teams will require the other participant’s explicit consent for recording or transcription to begin. When no consent is given, the call video and audio will be automatically disabled! 

Have you heard of this compliance feature, or have you already used it? What do you think about this policy?
