Microsoft Teams

Microsoft will soon introduce support for third-party deepfake detection solutions and impersonation protection in Teams meetings.

According to new entries on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, both changes are now in development and will reach general availability in November after a worldwide rollout.

Once available, Microsoft says it will provide Teams integration and experiences to surface and act on deepfake detection signals triggered by supported providers.

"Organizations can enhance meeting security with synthetic audio and video detection solutions provided by certified third-party providers," Microsoft said.

"Third-party detection solutions analyze meeting media for signs of synthetic or manipulated audio and video and send detection signals to Teams, enabling integrated in-meeting experiences and controls."

Teams will also let users detect deceptive meeting organizers and participants through a new impersonation protection security feature.
