To strengthen team governance and reduce unintended access, Microsoft Teams is updating the join by code experience for private teams.

Going forward, when a user enters a join code for a private team, the request wonโ€™t add them immediately. Instead, the team owner must approve or reject the join request, just like with join-by-link behavior.

โžก๏ธ Public teams remain unaffected.

A small but impactful change that gives owners tighter control and helps organizations keep their Teams environment secure and organized.
