Microsoft Teams – Security

Microsoft Teams, as part of the Microsoft 365 (M365) service, follows all the security best practices and procedures​ as seen in the Microsoft Trust Center​. Though teams is designed and developed in compliance with the Microsoft security standard, users can further configure their “M​eeting options” to make a teams meeting more secure.​​​​

 

Recommended setting is “Only me”.

By default, people outside your organization need to wait at the lobby.

Remarks: Under the CUHK setting, all staff belong to one organization (called staff tenant) while all students belong to another organization (called student tenant). That means, if the teams meeting is held in staff tenant, all students will be regarded as external users. By default, they need to wait at the lobby.

People in my organization​
​Staff tenant​​ Staff, project accounts, etc​
Student tenant ​​​​​​​Students, Alumni, project accounts, etc

Meeting organizer can change the configuration according to your need. The available options are:

Who can bypass the lobby? What happens Recommended when…
Only me As the meeting organizer, only you can get into your meeting directly. Everyone else will wait in the lobby. You want everyone else to wait in the lobby until you’re ready to admit them.
People in my organization and guests Only people in your org and guests (including those who have different email domains than yours) can get into your meetings directly. You want all external people (anyone outside your org) to wait in the lobby so you can approve them one by one.
People in my organization and trusted organizations, and guests Only people in your Teams org, external participants from trusted organizations, and guests can get into your meetings directly. You want some external people to wait in the lobby so you can approve them one by one.
Everyone Anyone who has access to the meeting link gets into the meeting directly, including people who call in. You don’t want anyone to wait in the lobby. You want everyone to be able to join your meetings without specific approval.​
