Finally, a simple way to prevent accidental oversharing in Teams!
It’s easy to lose track of who’s really in a meeting or chat, and that can lead to sharing information with the wrong audience.
Microsoft is addressing this with Trust Indicators, visual badges that instantly show when a participant is external, a guest, or anonymous.
Rollout timeline:
Public Preview: Late September – late November 2025
General Availability: Late November 2025 – early January 2026 (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD)
-
Indicators appear across chats, meetings, and other Teams surfaces.
-
The feature is on by default.
Use these badges to pause, think, and share safely. Protect your organization’s sensitive information with every message and meeting!
