How to enable the Teams "new meeting experience" for all users?

I enabled the "new meeting experience" manual on my profile. I like these new features and would like as an IT administrator to enable it for all users in our organisation. Is this possible? I dont want to ask all the users to do it manuel.

  • DreamsatHi, you don't have to worry about that.

     

    • New experiences are available and users can enable through settings. - Complete
    • Experiences are enabled by default and users can disable through settings. - Late September (previously August)
    • Experiences are enabled by default and user controls are no longer available. - October (previously September)

    I encountered a significant flaw in the New Meeting Experience today. I'm already not a fan, because there is no longer a true fullscreen vew (there's a fullscreen menu item, but it's not really full screen), but this is a whole other level of bad. If you use the kebab menu (e.g., to turn on focus and "fullscreen"), and then (perhaps accidentally, or let your cat do it as happened to me) hit the Enter key on the keyboard *****SURPRISE!!!***** you just enabled video!!! This is bad bad bad bad bad! It's okay to have a shortcut key combination (Ctrl-Shift-O) so that I can do that on purpose when I want to, but it should NEVER happen unless I want it to. Thankfully, I was in a meeting where it didn't matter that I showed up in a t-shirt and not really presentable, but it could have been a very important meeting and I could have been much less presentable. THIS HAS TO BE FIXED!!! PLEASE!!! This is a privacy matter. Microsoft you are literally exposing us!
