Microsoft Teams: Block users from joining externally hosted Teams meetings

This feature enables tenant admins to control whether some users in their organizations can join any externally hosted Microsoft Teams meetings. When these regulated users are signed in on their Teams clients, their ability to join an externally hosted meeting will be limited based on the policy configuration. This capability can be used by the tenant admins to protect potential data exfiltration from specific user groups within their organization.
