Microsoft Teams will add third-party deepfake detection and impersonation warnings

Teams meetings will be able to surface signals from certified providers, giving organizations warnings when audio, video or identities look suspicious.

Microsoft is adding third-party deepfake detection and impersonation warnings to Teams meetings, giving organizations new ways to spot synthetic audio or video and suspicious identities during calls. According to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, both features are in development and are slated for general availability in November after a worldwide rollout. The new integrations will let certified providers send detection signals into Teams so the app can surface warnings and controls in meeting experiences. Microsoft has been steadily layering on more Teams protections, including tools to block external users, blur QR codes from outside senders, stop identified external bots, and report suspicious guest invitations.
