Updated October 22, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
[What and Why:]
Organizations can enhance meeting security with synthetic audio and video detection solutions provided by certified third-party providers. Third-party detection solutions analyze meeting media for signs of synthetic or manipulated audio and video and send detection signals to Teams, enabling integrated in-meeting experiences and controls.
Important: Synthetic media detection is performed by the third-party provider. Microsoft Teams provides the platform integration and experiences for surfacing and acting on detection signals from supported providers.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 573451.
[Rollout Schedule:]
Targeted Release (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in mid-November 2026 and expect to complete by late November 2026.
General Availability (Worldwide): We will communicate via Message center when we are ready to proceed.
[Impact on Your Organization:]

This gives customers more flexibility to meet security and compliance needs while enabling users to make more informed trust decisions during meetings.
[Action Required/Recommendations:]
To use third-party Synthetic Audio and Video Detection in Microsoft Teams, administrators should evaluate and select a supported detection provider, deploy the provider app through Manage apps in the Teams admin center, grant required permissions, and configure applicable Teams meeting policies.
