Microsoft\u2019s roadmap confirms that this feature will start rolling out in July 2025 across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. This broad availability ensures that&nbsp;<strong>nearly all users will be subject to this new layer of protection<\/strong>, no matter their device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Microsoft,&nbsp;<strong>participants may be restricted to audio-only<\/strong>&nbsp;if they join from platforms that don\u2019t support this safeguard, helping to eliminate the risk of data exposure.
