Microsoft Teams: New policy for voice and face enrollment will default to “On” (configure now)

Microsoft Teams is introducing a policy, csTeamsAIPolicy, that enables voice and face enrollment by default, enhancing meeting features and requiring a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The policy is currently available via PowerShell and will be in effect from mid-January 2025. Organizations need to configure settings before this date. The new policy will provide IT admins with more control over voice and face enrollment settings, enabling organizations to manage these features as per their requirements. With this rollout, users can benefit from voice isolation, speaker recognition, and attribution in meeting rooms, leading to smarter meeting recaps and enhanced functionality for Microsoft 365 Copilot in meetings. A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to access Copilot features. Microsoft does not use the voice and face profiles of users to train any models or for any other purposes except to provide the voice and face enrollment feature in Microsoft Teams. Before this rollout, the current policy, csTeamsMeetingPolicy, had only one setting, EnrollUserOverride, that allowed administrators to enable or disable the enrollment of both the face and voice profile of users. After the rollout, the new csTeamsAIPolicy will replace the existing enrollment setting in csTeamsMeetingPolicy. The new policy has two settings, EnrollFace, and EnrollVoice, which will be set to Enabled by default. This change will be automatically implemented by the specified date, so organizations should review their current configuration and notify their admins about this change. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 413708.
