Microsoft Teams admin center: Global vs. custom policies

Microsoft Teams logo

This demo explains the difference between global and custom meeting policies in the Microsoft Teams admin center. It shows where to find them (Meetings > Meeting policies), then clarifies that the Global [org-wide default] policy automatically applies to everyone unless a user gets a different policy via individual or group assignment. Because there’s only one global policy per policy type, the video demonstrates creating a custom policy (Add, name it, adjust the same settings you’d see in Global, Save), then assigning it to a group—illustrated with the Sales and Marketing group, where membership (like Megan Bowman) determines who inherits the policy.

We produced this as a quick concept-and-action demo: we shaped the story to answer “what’s the difference?” first, then immediately show the exact clicks to build and assign a custom policy. Clean screen capture, clear narration, and a tight edit keep the distinction memorable—so viewers leave knowing when to edit Global and when to create something custom. Final delivery includes closed captions, audio description, and thumbnails.
