  • **Me or my organization currently has an active subscription to the product at the €99/month level.

Problem Statement

Microsoft has introduced a new Teams Meeting Policy setting called"Manage external bots and their access to meetings", which helps organizations detect and control external AI meeting assistants and note-taking bots such as Read AI, Otter.ai, Fireflies.ai, Recall.ai and similar services. When enabled, Teams can detect potential bots, place them in the meeting lobby, clearly identify them, and require organizer approval before they are admitted.

Benefits for MSPs

  • Improves security and compliance across customer tenants.
  • Reduces the risk of unauthorized AI meeting assistants accessing confidential meeting content.
  • Allows proactive enforcement of Microsoft's recommended configuration.
  • Eliminates the need for manual tenant-by-tenant configuration.
  • Provides reporting and remediation capabilities through CIPP Standards.
  • Helps MSPs respond to growing adoption of third-party AI meeting assistants.

Value or Importance

This is becoming increasingly important as AI meeting assistants are being adopted by end users without centralized IT oversight. Microsoft has introduced dedicated controls specifically to address security, privacy, data protection, and compliance concerns related to third-party meeting bots.
