MT.1037 - Only users with Presenter role are allowed to present in Teams meetings

Contributed by Stefan Wey with Merill FernandoAll contributors →

Overview

This test checks the Org-wide default meeting policy is configured to only allow users in the Presenter role to request control and share content during meetings.

Restricting who can present limits meeting disruptions and reduces the risk of unwanted or inappropriate content being shared.

Remediation action

To prevent standard attendees from sharing content during Teams meetings:

1. Click here to open Org-wide default settings > Meetings
   • Or navigate to Teams Admin Center.
   • Click Settings & policies > Org-wide default settings > Meetings.
2. Scroll to the Content sharing section.
3. Set Participants can give or request control to Off.
4. Click Save.
