MS Teams - Video Sharing bypassing block

[robyholmes]

Hi All,

 

Its been brought to my action that some of our students have been able to share video when we have IP video disabled for students in our meeting policy.

 

This is being done via share on a mobile device, so going to the three dots, share, then picking video from the list.

 

Most staff are setting the who can present correctly to stop this be its concerning its allowed. We block screen sharing for students but allow PowerPoint sharing.

 

My testing showed it wasn't blocked on the students device but my test staff account didn't receive it. So I don't think it it's 100% affective, or rather defected.

 

I have a ticket open with Microsoft for this issue but as yet haven't heard from them.

 

Has anyone else come across this issue?

 

Thanks, Rob

Anyone else seeing this? Microsoft support are drawing a blank currently as 'Allow IP Video' only covers call video, rather that sharing video on a mobile device, and 'Screen sharing mode' covers screen sharing on desktop and mobile, but not share video. I've asked Microsoft to confirm what policy affects this but I get the feeling there isn't one. It's simply not possible to block it.

Microsoft have now confirmed that disabling video sharing is not possible. Could you ask people to upvote the following so it gets noticed and added:
