Microsoft has started to roll out end-to-end encryption (E2EE) support for calls in its platform Teams. The feature was announced earlier this year, with a beta test phase running since October. Today the company started to distribute an update to all Teams users, giving administrators the ability to turn on the E2EE feature for one-to-one calls.
“Multiple enterprise customers in the US and Europe across industries such as aerospace, manufacturing, telecommunications, and professional services are in the process of rolling out E2EE for Teams calls,” explained Microsoft’s technical product manager John Gruszczyk in a blog post.
This new E2EE encryption is generally available on the latest version of the Teams desktop client for Windows or Mac, but it comes with some caveats. End-to-end encryption renders certain features unavailable, and if users want to use those, they’ll have to disable the feature.
Microsoft Teams features not working with E2EE:
Recording
Live caption and transcription
Call transfer (blind, safe, and consult)
Call Park
Call Merge
Cal Companion and transfer to another device
Add participant to make the one-to-one call a group call
