| MC297030 | (Updated) Anonymous join policy | This policy will provide administrators more granular control by enabling them to allow specific users, or groups of users to admit anonymous users into meetings they organize. At launch, administrators will only be able to set the new policy using PowerShell. At a later date (no firm timeline as of today), the policy will be able to be controlled using the Teams admin center. We will notify you when this happens via a future Message center communication. |
This policy will provide administrators more granular control by enabling them to allow specific users, or groups of users to admit anonymous users into meetings they organize. The new per-organizer policy is controlled using the -AllowAnonymousUsersToJoinMeeting parameter in Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy This comes with Teams PowerShell version 2.6.0 and later. To assist with the transition from the old tenant-wide setting to the new policy, there are two phases to this rollout. Phase 1: The new policy has rolled-out and can be set by administrators. During this phase, the old tenant-wide setting will still exist and can be changed by administrators. Administrators will need to understand how the tenant-wide setting and the policy work together. Phase 2: The old tenant-wide setting will be retired. The new per-organizer policy will fully control anonymous join. You learn read more about the co-existence of the setting & meeting policies during Phase 1 here. |

Updated November 18, 2021: During our gradual rollout of the new Whiteboard for Windows app, we learned that users love the new features but need some of the old ones back. We've also heard that some customers need more time before we automatically require transitioning new boards in OneDrive for Business (ODB) and more flexibility for rolling out the new unified Whiteboard for Windows app. So today, we're doing two things: We're pausing the Windows app rollout. Any users already upgraded will be automatically moved back to the previous version via automatic Store update. All the new Whiteboard features such as templates remain available in Teams, Web and mobile. For the client, we're addressing top requests for the new Windows app and will start the automatic store rollout in mid-February, completing by mid-March.
