MC1163766 — New policy setting to require explicit consent for recording and transcription in Teams 1:1 calls

MC1163766Microsoft TeamsplanForChangeUpdated: 20 March 2026

Microsoft Teams will require explicit consent for recording and transcription in 1:1 VoIP calls starting early 2026. Administrators must enable this feature, which prompts participants for consent before recording, excluding their media if declined. PSTN calls are auto-consented; explicit consent for PSTN will come later.
