Preventing Teams private messages from eDiscovery
Of course I'm aware that Teams private messages are stored and are searchable with an eDiscovery search. Our problem is that our CEO doesn't want this, and he refuses to use Teams for this very reason. He wants his private messages to be just that - private. As long as a global admin can run an eDiscovery search, even if doing so is logged and audited, he won't use Teams. Is there any way to make Teams messages ACTUALLY private and keep them outside of the scope of what an eDiscovery search can find? I'm the 365 admin for our company and personally I feel the same way. People's private chats should be private. Yes, of course, it's a business account, so everyone should conduct themselves professionally, etc. But regardless, we'd like to be able to setup our Teams so that anything said in a private message is untraceable. Can this be done?
Security and privacy Live Captions Teams Meeting
Dear Microsoft, In our company we would like to enable live captions for our users since the Dutch language became available. However, from security and privacy perspective, I need some more information on where the audio gets translated from speech to text (where does the data go). Also I would like to have some information on who has access to this audio and speech while the data is in transit. I would imagine that the audio gets processed in Azure somewhere and maybe Microsoft engineers have access to it. Do you have more information on encryption of speech to text (specifically for live captions in Teams meetings), where this gets processed (europe/US etc.) and who has access (from Microsoft perspective) etc.? This would help me to ease our security officers and enable the feature for our users. Thank you in advance for your help! Sylvester
It is possible to hide Active Directory personal user information to external Microsoft 365 users?
Hi All, As a Company, we have the Active Directory connector to synchronize our local AD info to Azure AD. Our users then can login with our AD credentials to all Microsoft 365 services and all info about users are synchronized with their online account. Now, we have noted a privacy violation of internal information when our Teams users invite external users. All these external users are able to see the full list of Active Directory information related to the internal users that have joined the meeting (personal phone number, mobile number, internal number, street, city, etc.). Does all these information should be protected by default as stated by the GDPR compliance? (privacy by design and privacy by default) I have opened a ticket to the Technical support, but they closed the ticket telling me that "it is normal" and invited my to open a question on the Microsoft portals. Do you know if there is a way to exclude access to our internal AD information from external users?Unable to update privacy for "class" style Teams
I've been attempting to figure out how to make all of our Teams private for a while now. Couldn't figure out for the life of me why the option wasn't available until I figured out that there are different types of Teams, the vast majority of which that we use are "class" style, and each type works differently for setting to private/public. The problem with "class" style teams is that they don't allow for setting them to private via the GUI, so I turned to PowerShell. I wrote a little script to broadly grab every team (of which we have a few) and set them all to Private. The script: $team = Get-Team foreach ($team in $team) { Set-Team -GroupId $team.GroupId -Visibility Private } It worked for a handful of Teams but the vast majority threw an error and I cannot figure out how to remedy the problem. Set-Team : Error occurred while executing Code: Request_BadRequest Message: Visibility of a group with hidden membership cannot be updated. InnerError: RequestId: f803439a-60df-4d7d-86a3-2ba5c9062e12 DateTimeStamp: 2021-03-09T19:43:13 HttpStatusCode: Request_BadRequest At line:4 char:5 + Set-Team -GroupId $team.GroupId -Visibility Private + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-Team], ApiException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.TeamsCmdlets.PowerShell.Custom.ErrorHandling.ApiException,Microsoft.TeamsCmdlets.PowerShell.Custom.SetTeam It appears to be related to how most of the teams have a "hidden membership" but I cannot determine how to unhide the membership or force the script to change the privacy setting regardless. I have to change the privacy for our Teams to Private one way or another to prevent students from "Team hopping" so any help for either my PowerShell solution or some other way (aside from manually changing the settings for 500+ teams, preferably) would be appreciated.
Bug? People I don't know are listing as type-ahead suggestions!
Hello everyone.. can you tell me if this is a bug? when I make "@" mentions in my internal chats.. I am suddenly seeing people from other orgs! I checked, these are not in my address book. we are a small organization and have never emailed any of these people. Wonder why we're seeing them all of a sudden! And, I can see full email addresses.
