Microsoft Teams is getting a controlled-content meeting template, according to the latest entry to Microsoft 365 Roadmap.

This template will be used when planning Teams meetings with external guests and participants. With it, Premium Teams users will be able to tightly control the interactions and settings of these meetings.

For example, you’ll be able to have controls over lobby bypasses, who can present, allowing chat in lobby/in-meeting, and who can record.

The feature is scheduled to roll out in October 2023, to all Premium Teams users.

If you remember, Microsoft has recently announced that it will add another useful feature to Microsoft Teams: the ability to generate unique links, that can be emailed and accessed by those outside of your organization.

So it seems the Redmond-based tech giant is taking all the necessary steps to ensure that Teams will not be accidentally compromised.
