Compliance considerations
Question: Does the change add any integration to third-party software products, and if so, what?
Answer: Yes. NDI® enables Microsoft Teams meeting content to be sent to production software.
Question: Does the change include an admin control, and can it be controlled through Entra ID group membership?
Answer: Yes. Admins can control NDI® streaming through the AllowNDIStreaming setting in CsTeamsMeetingPolicy. The provided source does not specify whether the control can be managed through Entra ID group membership.
Question: Does the change allow a user to enable and disable the feature themselves?
Answer: Yes. After an admin enables NDI streaming, users must turn on production capabilities in Teams.
