https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/set-up-guestsThe solution mentioned in the scenario, which is to modify the Guest access settings from the Microsoft Teams admin center, is not sufficient to meet the stated goal of preventing guest users from using cameras during Microsoft Teams meetings. Therefore, the correct answer is B. No.
While the Guest access settings in Microsoft Teams admin center allow you to control certain permissions for guest users, such as the ability to create channels, invite guests, and share files, it does not provide the option to specifically disable camera access for guests. The Guest access settings mainly control guest permissions at the team and channel levels.
To prevent guest users from using cameras during Microsoft Teams meetings, you would need to use a combination of Azure AD settings, Teams meeting policies, and Teams messaging policies. Specifically, you would need to create a custom Teams meeting policy that disables camera access for guest users and assign that policy to the appropriate guest users using a Teams messaging policy. You can do this by following these general steps:
- Create a custom Teams meeting policy that disables camera access for guests.
- Create a Teams messaging policy that applies the custom meeting policy to guest users.
- Assign the Teams messaging policy to the appropriate guest users.
These steps can be accomplished using PowerShell commands or the Microsoft Teams admin center. Keep in mind that this approach will only prevent guests from using cameras during Microsoft Teams meetings and does not affect other types of video calls or applications.
