Information

This policy setting controls who can present in a Teams meeting.

Note: Organizers and co-organizers can change this setting when the meeting is set up.

Ensuring that only authorized individuals are able to present reduces the risk that a malicious user can inadvertently show content that is not appropriate.

Solution

To remediate using the UI:

- Navigate to Microsoft Teams admin center

https://admin.teams.microsoft.com

.
- Click to expand Meetings select Meeting policies
- Click Global (Org-wide default)
- Under content sharing set Who can present to Only organizers and co-organizers

To remediate using PowerShell:

- Connect to Teams PowerShell using Connect-MicrosoftTeams
- Run the following command to set the recommended state:

Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity Global -DesignatedPresenterRoleMode "OrganizerOnlyUserOverride"

Impact:

Only organizers and co-organizers will be able to present without being granted permission.
