The challenge with sensitive data and access to Copilot Microsoft 365 Copilot empowers users with AI-driven assistance across Microsoft 365 apps, but it also raises concerns about accidental oversharing of sensitive information. In response, Microsoft has extended its Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities to Microsoft 365 Copilot, allowing organizations to enforce information protection policies within AI workflows. The DLP for Microsoft 365 Copilot has been in preview for some time, but Microsoft has now announced it is released for GA (General Availability).

The "Manage what attendees see" feature in Microsoft Teams is designed to help organizers deliver polished meetings or events by simplifying the attendee view and keeping the focus on participants who have been brought on screen. Previously, this was limited to webinars, but it seems this feature is coming as an option organizers can set on their meetings. Instead of automatically displaying shared content, it will first appear in the Manage screen’s left panel. An organizer or presenter must manually bring it on screen, preventing unintended interruptions and ensuring a smoother attendee experience. Additionally, presenters will now see their content displayed instead of a text message indicating they are sharing. For mobile users, only participants or content that has been brought on screen will be visible.

This is a different kind of meeting, where the intention is more of a one-to-many delivery, rather than a regular meeting. But I do think it makes it easier for users to organize these types of events with this new feature, rather than having to set up a dedicated webinar.

To configure the feature in an upcoming meeting (when the feature has become available to you), follow these simple instructions from Microsoft user guides.

According to the message center, this feature will start it's rollout in early April (already happening), and should be completed by the end of the month.
