In Microsoft Teams, Settings, Privacy, there is option to "Turn off my camera and mic when my screen locks". How can I force it to all my users. or at lease enable it to all my users (even without forcing) ? I didn't find any settings in Intune or ADMX GPO for that.

    Hi @Bachar Bader

    "Turn off my camera and mic when my screen locks" is a personal privacy setting, and you cannot force it on for all users (even as a Teams admin).

    The only way to enable this feature is for users to enable it themselves in Teams.

    Thank you for your understanding and support.

    The setting "Turn off my camera and mic when my screen locks" is not only meant to protect privacy-related content but also safeguards business information. Therefore, it should be possible to enforce this setting through a policy managed by the company/employer.
