Disable Microsoft Teams Default Audio Announcements

How to disable the MS Teams built in audio announcements.

Disabling MS Teams Default Audio Announcements

You may wish to disable completely the MS Teams default recording audio announcements. This article will guide you through how to do this for your Microsoft Teams Compliance Recording Policy users.

This is a required step if you want to have Custom audio announcements enabled for your environment.

 

You will need to execute these commands in PowerShell with an administrator account with the appropriate permissions to edit the compliance recording policies.

 

By default, Teams plays an audio notification when compliance recording is active. If you need to disable this notification for calls, follow these steps:

  1. Log into PowerShell
    Connect to the Teams Powershell module
Connect-MicrosoftTeams
  1. Retrieve the Current Policy
    Run the following command to view your compliance recording policy:
Get-CsTeamsComplianceRecordingPolicy

Make a note of the Identity value (everything after TAG:), as you’ll need it for the next step.

  1. Disable the Audio Notification
    Use the command below, replacing {Identity} with the value you noted:
    Set-CsTeamsComplianceRecordingPolicy -Identity {Identity} -DisableComplianceRecordingAudioNotificationForCalls $true
  2. Verify the Change
    Run the following command again:
Get-CsTeamsComplianceRecordingPolicy

Confirm that the “-DisableComplianceRecordingAudioNotificationForCalls” switch is now set to True in the policy.
