As of July 2024, Microsoft have released an update which has added a 'Share' button at the bottom of third-party meeting apps in Teams. This new feature allows anyone in the meeting with screensharing privileges, to share the contents of their app (in the side panel) with the rest of the meeting.
Whilst with some apps there may be perceived benefits to this feature, the nature of Vevox does not require this capability and has the potential to create confusion.
Our recommendation is to check and make sure you are comfortable with who has the ability to share their screen content within your Teams meetings.
For further information on how to configure your meeting options and disable who is allowed to share content within your meetings, please see below.
