Microsoft adds new security, privacy, and compliance features to the Microsoft Teams chat and collaboration solution, including end-to-end encryption support for one-on-one voice calls.

Microsoft Teams is a cloud collaboration platform designed to allow an organization's team to stay organized and communicate via text, audio, and video, all in one place.

"End-to-end encryption for 1:1 Teams calls will be available to commercial customers in preview in the first half of this year," Microsoft said at Microsoft Ignite 2021.

Once the E2EE support for face-to-face ad hoc Teams VoIP calls rolls out, customers will be able to enable end-to-end encryption for 1:1 unscheduled calls if the information transmitted requires additional protection.

Teams multigeo support will be generally available in the first half of this calendar year to provide multinational organizations greater control over the location of specific data centers where their Teams data is stored, down to the team and user level.

Teams will now leverage the power of Safe Links to help protect end users against potential malicious sites shared through Teams conversations, group chats, and channels.
