What's the difference between a Host:Global and tenant:global meeting policy
Host:global is the predefined out of the box default tag provided by Microsoft.
Tenant:Global is a custom policy tag as created and assigned by the organisation
You should be able to see it in Powershell by Get-CSTeamsMeetingPolicy

Hope that clarifies

not completely clarified 🙂 ChrisHoardMVP
While the "Global" policy is obviously available and active for users who don´t have a manually assigned policy, how can I create a tenant:global policy? I am only able to create user based policies which in turn need to be manually assigned. In case of new users in a tenant this could get lost when enabling the users.
I would expect that this tenant:global policy would overwrite the "Global" policy for all tenant users not assigned manually, but found no way to create one.
Thanks

As far as I understand it, Host:global is basically the default Global policy provided by Microsoft without any modifications. In the Teams Admin Centre this shows under Meeting Policies as
Global (Org-wide default) Custom Policy = No
Today, that policy shows Automatically admit people = Everyone in the Organisation. Microsoft's change means this policy is going to be changed to Automatically admit people = Everyone
Again, as far as I understand it tenant:global is an amended Global (Org-wide default) policy. This is where the admin in the tenant has modified that Global Default Policy either through the TAC or through Powershell.
Hope that clarifies.

ChrisHoardMVP so does it mean if we change any setting of existing 'Global (Org-wide default)' policy then it becomes the tenant default. I tried that and it still says 'Global' though i.e. no way to tell from any visible flag whether a global policy is 'tenant-default' or 'microsoft global global default'.
