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.
