What’s New in Teams Phone | April 2024

Teams Phone

Voice isolation enables clear and seamless calls or meetings, wherever users are. This feature uses AI to eliminate all background noise, including other people's voices. By using a voice profile, this advanced noise reduction capability makes sure only the user’s voice is heard. Whether you are in a busy office, a noisy cafe, or a crowded airport, you can communicate with confidence and clarity. Learn more about voice isolation.

Limit presenter role permissions using PowerShell

Limit presenter role permissions Administrators can use a new tenant configuration to restrict what presenters can do in meetings. When enabled, presenters can no longer control attendees’ mics and cameras, change the role of other participants, lower participants’ hands, and remove participants from a meeting. This gives meeting organizers more control in running their meetings.

To limit presenter role permissions for your tenant, you must use the -LimitPresenterRolePermissions parameter within the CsTeamsMeetingConfiguration PowerShell cmdlet.

Set-CsTeamsMeetingConfiguration -Identity <policy name> -LimitPresenterRolePermissions  $true
