MC579612 - Admin Policy for Collaborative Annotations

Updated January 5, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

With privacy and security restrictions, we have implemented a user-level IT admin policy for admins to choose whether some or all users in the company can use Collaborative Annotations. Currently, there is a way to turn Annotations ON or OFF through cmdlet Set-SPOTenant-IsWBFluidEnabled, this will also influence Whiteboard.

This change is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 92502

When this will happen:

We will begin rolling out in early August 2023 and expect to complete rollout by late January 2024 (previously early December).

How this will affect your organization:

IT admins will be able to turn ON or OFF Collaborative Annotations from the Teams admin center in Meetings --> Meeting policies.

What you need to do to prepare:

There is nothing you need to do to prepare.
