Summary:
Chrome's rollout of privacy sandboxing will affect Teams experiences, with an updated notice that users can opt-in for this feature. Teams on Chrome may require daily sign-in and have limited functionality. The Teams desktop client is recommended, and administrators can use specific Chrome policies to mitigate impact.

Details:
Updated September 30, 2024: Chrome will no longer be rolling out this change to general availability. Users will instead be able to choose whether they would like to enable privacy sandboxing. Read more about their update here: A new path for Privacy Sandbox on the web. Our recommendations below still apply if your users are using privacy sandboxing in Chrome. Thank you for your patience.
Starting in January, Chrome will begin gradually rolling out privacy sandboxing in the web to 1% of their users, with general rollout happening in late 2024. This will impact some Teams experiences in Chrome. The recommendation is to use the Teams desktop client if you are part of the rollout cohort.

[When this will happen:]
Starting in January 2024 and continuing through the remainder of 2024.
