00:00:18

To start,

00:00:19

00:00:22

in the top right corner of the screen.

00:00:28

From the left menu,

00:00:29

select privacy.

00:00:30

Here,

00:00:31

you'll find various options to personalize your call experience.

00:00:36

To minimize interruptions during important calls,

00:00:38

enable do not disturb mode.

00:00:41

This setting blocks notifications and incoming calls,

00:00:44

except from priority contacts.

00:00:46

Click on manage priority access.

00:00:51

In the new window,

00:00:52

search for the contacts you want to allow through,

00:00:54

even when your status is set to do not disturb.

00:00:58

Add them to your priority list,

00:01:00

and they'll be able to reach you at any time.

00:01:06

Additionally,

00:01:07

check set my status to do not disturb when

00:01:09

I'm sharing my screen to avoid disruptions during presentations.

00:01:14

For enhanced privacy,

00:01:16

it's recommended to block anonymous calls.

00:01:19

In the blocked contacts section,

00:01:22

select block calls with no caller ID.

00:01:25

This will prevent calls from masked or unidentified numbers,

00:01:29

reducing spam and unwanted disruptions.

00:01:34

To review and manage your blocked contacts,

00:01:37

click edit blocked contacts.

00:01:41

Ensure your calls are secure with end to end encryption.

00:01:45

Scroll down to the end to end encrypted calls option.

00:01:49

Activate this feature to ensure that your 121 calls are fully encrypted.

00:01:54

Note,

00:01:55

features like call recording and transcription will

00:01:57

be unavailable when encryption is enabled.

00:01:59

If you do not have the necessary permissions,

00:02:02

contact your administrator to enable this setting.

00:02:06

To control message privacy,

00:02:08

enable or disable read receipts.

00:02:11

This option allows other users to know when you've read their messages.

00:02:16

In the read receipts section,

00:02:18

turn the feature on or off according to your preferences.

00:02:25

And there you have it.

00:02:26

Access call privacy settings in Teams.

00:02:31

Set do not disturb and manage priority contacts.

00:02:34

Block anonymous calls and enable end to end encryption.

00:02:37

Control message read receipts for improved privacy.

00:02:40

These configurations help you manage who can contact

00:02:43

you while ensuring the security of your information.
