Prevent 3rd Party Bots from Joining Meetings
Is there an option to block 3rd party bots from joining a Teams meeting in the Admin Center or elsewhere in Azure? Here's the backstory: company users started receiving recaps of their meetings f...
If I find a way I'll add it to the chain.
I didn't mention I brought this up to the Teams device product group. They quickly said they are aware. A suggested option was to create a meeting policy and disable 'Anonymous users can join a meeting.' Otherwise, I was directed back to my account team to discuss further.
When I tested the Meeting Policy out, users who didn't have a Teams account weren't able to join the meeting without signing in. Without a Teams account, these users wouldn't be able to join at all. The biggest concern was that the bot could still join, so it wasn't being seen as anonymous.

- did you run the script to block sub domains for read.ai?
- Also did you turn off the "People in my organization can communicate with Teams users whose accounts aren't manage by an organization." in the admin console?
- No, we need to be able to communicate with all users. Didn't run a script to block subdomains, but the bot was coming into the meetings as @read.ai. Not sure this would have made a difference. Also, the need is to block bots. There may be a legitimate need to communicate with somebody from a blocked domain/subdomain.
