Microsoft Teams is increasingly used as the company's hub for conducting meetings.
Whether with clients, suppliers, or colleagues, meetings through Microsoft Teams are more popular.
Their ease of creation and execution, as well as their immediacy and management, make it one of the most common means of interaction between professionals.
Therefore, the IT department must be attentive to how those meetings are and we need to be alert to configure and adapt them to what our company needs.
Accessing the Teams Admin Center
To manage meetings, first, access the Teams Admin Center from the Microsoft 365 Admin portal.
Exploring Teams Meeting Policies
Within the Admin Center, navigate to meeting management and explore the Meeting Policies. Here, configure what attendees will find when joining a meeting.
Global Policy and Meeting Configuration
This is where we will define what meeting attendees will encounter once they access.
If we access the Global policy, we can see what the user accessing the meeting will find.
Of course, we can make the necessary modifications to adapt everything to our interests.
Another interesting element to control is inviting users we want to attend the meeting.
For this, we will go to control the Meeting Configuration policies.
Meeting Creation and Configuration
As we can see, there are many aspects we can modify when creating and configuring a meeting.
These elements are worth reviewing and controlling meeting creation to adjust these different options to what our organization requires.
A recommended previous step is to conduct tests with meeting invitations and observe the system's behavior when accessing and scheduling a meeting.
