Summary:
Microsoft 365 Groups in Teams DLP policy will now automatically include 1:1 and group chats for protection, without needing to add users or groups manually, except when using OCR. Rollout begins late August 2024, with completion by late September 2024. Admins should review their Teams DLP policies in preparation.

Details:
When scoping policies to Microsoft 365 Groups in Microsoft Teams Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies, members of Teams standard and shared channel chats associated with the groups are currently protected by the policies. The messages are scanned/evaluated for sensitive content. This change will automatically extend the protection to standard/shared channels chats in other Microsoft 365 Groups and 1:1/n (non-channel) chats. There is no longer a need to add users, security groups, or other Microsoft 365 Groups to protect these chats, except for customers that have enabled optical character recognition (OCR) in Teams chat.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 401126.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late August 2024 and expect to complete by late September 2024.
