Worried that your boss is spying on your Microsoft Teams voice calls? Worry no more.

Starting in July, Microsoft will enable end-to-end encryption (aka E2EE) on one-to-one Teams Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls, allowing only the conversation participants to eavesdrop.

However, the Teams administrator at the workplace retains the ability to disable end-to-end encryption for specific users or the entire team.

If the head of IT decides to let you use end-to-end encryption and you want to do so, you will be able to turn it on by going into Teams settings and selecting Privacy from the left navigation bar.

There you will find a toggle switch to turn on or off end-to-end encrypted calls. For the call to be fully encrypted, all participants in the voice call must have this switch turned on.

If it is turned on, the Teams administrator will not be able to record the call or create a transcript of the conversation.

"E2EE calling supports only basic call features such as voice, video, screen sharing, and chat; advanced features such as call escalation, transfer, recording, and merging are not available," MSPowerUser reported yesterday (June 3).

MSPowerUser appears to have inside information beyond what was revealed in Microsoft's "roadmap" update, which stated only that Teams end-to-end encryption will be generally available on most platforms next month It seems.

"This feature will be available on [Teams] desktop and mobile clients, not on the web," says MSPowerUser.
