This feature, available across various platforms except in town-halls, webinars, and Teams for iOS/Android, will roll out in July 2025 and can be configured in the Microsoft Purview portal.
Details:
With this rollout, admins will be able to access detailed audit logs for the Give control, Take control, and screensharing features in Microsoft Teams. These logs will provide comprehensive information, including the names and timestamps of the individuals involved in each action. The logs will indicate who initiated or received control of a screensharing session and who started the screensharing session, along with the corresponding timestamps. Further, the logs will indicate who took control, and gave control and the timestamps of these actions. This new feature ensures greater transparency and accountability for all control and screensharing activities.

summary for non-techies**
Microsoft Teams will introduce a feature in July 2025 that provides IT administrators with detailed audit logs for actions like screen control and screensharing during meetings, accessible via the Microsoft Purview portal, but not available for town-halls, webinars, or on mobile devices.
Direct effects for Operations**
Increased User Accountability
With the introduction of detailed audit logs, users may feel more scrutinized during meetings, potentially affecting their willingness to share control or screenshare due to fear of being monitored.
