Microsoft Teams and Information Barriers

A feature that I have always been fascinated with is Information Barriers and it has been expanded to Microsoft Teams (in Preview).

Information Barriers is a feature of Office 365 that can be used to restrict conversation and communications between groups of people to avoid conflicts of interest.

For Microsoft Teams this means:
  • Adding users to a Team could be restricted
  • Private chats can be restricted
  • Inviting other users to meetings
  • Performing screenshare between users
  • Placing a phone call between users
