Key points
As originally communicated in MC228482 (December ’20), we’re making some changes to the default setting for Guests in Microsoft Teams

The Microsoft Teams desktop app for MacOS will soon allow users include their computer’s sound when sharing either their desktop or a window in a meeting.
