Latest Policy Findings: 2026-06-10

Teams benefits from Microsoft's stronger AI limits, but recordings, admin access, and tenant-wide tracking still matter.

Strongest: AI Training
85/100

Teams is strongest where Microsoft 365 admins can control Copilot use, retention, exports, recordings, and tenant access policies.

Weakest: Ads & Tracking
55/100

The weakest area is the outer tenant surface around diagnostics, files, recordings, and account-level telemetry rather than the chat itself.
