(Updated) Admin Policy for Collaborative Annotations

Updated August 24, 2023: 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 December 2023 (previously mid-August) and expect to complete rollout by late December 2023 (previously late August).

[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.
