Hi ChrisHoardMVP ,

I have managed to make a policy to allow people to call

does this take long to kick in?

Also Is it possible to allow only a number of users to only be the ones that can voice call to others? So the recipients cant make calls to each other. And block video call?

I have seen policy changes take up to 24 hours to propagate. I would check periodically over that time by signing out and back into Teams

If you only wanted to allow certain people to call you would assign different policies - I.e. off in the global default and on in a custom policy. It would be interesting to me to see if this works and achieves the required result. However I am unsure whether this would prevent users from calling completely. It would be good to find out.

AFAIK it's impossible to block video call - but video is turned off by default for meetings and when joining a call

Hope that helps

Best, Chris

Hi ChrisHoardMVP

Thanks for this!

Is there a way to allow permission to a group of members rather than one by one as this will be long winded?

Thanks in advance

  In terms of assigning a policy? Powershell ;D
