Applies to Business Premium only

From January 2027, Business Premium organisations can require extra checks before someone joins a specific Teams meeting, such as board meetings or HR discussions.

How it works

Meeting organisers can mark a meeting as needing extra protection. Before joining, attendees might need to complete MFA again or join from a company-managed device. It builds on Conditional Access, which is why it needs Business Premium. Business Standard and Basic don’t include it.

When

A preview starts in late November 2026, with general availability rolling out through January 2027.

What to do

If you hold meetings where you’d like this extra protection, talk to us. It needs some setup in Microsoft Entra and Teams before organisers can use it, and we’re happy to set it up early during the preview.
