Microsoft Teams will let admins block custom file extensions

Microsoft Teams is adding a feature that allows administrators to customize file extension blocking policies based on their organization's security needs. This enhancement gives IT teams granular control over which file types are restricted within Teams messaging and file sharing.

Why it matters: Administrators responsible for Teams security need this control to align file restriction policies with company risk tolerance and prevent distribution of potentially dangerous files across the platform.
