In a Teams meeting with explicit consent enabled, if a user chooses not to consent at the beginning of the meeting, are they able to consent later on in that same meeting if they change their mind?

    Hi Glenn,

    For your concern, the answer is Yes.

    In a Teams meeting where "Require participant agreement for recording and transcription" is enabled, a participant who initially does not consent can later consent by trying to participate again, such as unmuting, turning on camera, or sharing content. Teams prompts participants for consent when they try to unmute, enable camera, or share content while recording/transcription consent is required.

    Until they consent, they remain in a view-only experience: their audio, video, and content sharing stay disabled, and they can’t start recording or transcription in that meeting.

    In short, they can change their mind during the same meeting, usually by attempting to unmute, turn on camera, or share content again, then selecting “Yes” when prompted.

    For your reference: Manage participant agreement for recording and transcription - Microsoft Teams

    I hope this information would be helpful for your concern. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out in the comments of this post. I'm happy to assist you further.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.
