    what if the company terminated my access because I'm no longer working with the company. How long they can access my messages in teams. Do they have easy access or they need a powerful tool to do it?

    Not sure the location where some of these statements are being made. In the US, unless someone is aware of some law about it, all employer supplied equipment can be monitored for everything - period. The employer does not have to have cause for monitoring and even if they did, they could easily side step it by claiming intellectual rights or security monitoring. MS products such as Teams and Outlook (365) in particular goes as far as providing tooling to allow real-time monitoring of everything going on, so soon as you press enter on that chat message, it's recorded. If you delete it, that update to it is also recorded. Best rule of thumb when using company property and actually on company property is not to do/say anything you wouldn't be prepared to defend to HR/manager. Got to love technology...

    • @LuiIacobellis
      @LuiIacobellis  Год назад +2

      I agree with the comments however in the video the message that I'm trying to convey based on my experience is that employers are not actively spending effort monitoring employee communications unless they have a reason to do so. Your rule of thumb is spot on also! Thanks for comment and for watching!

    Is there a way to see when your employer does access these logs? Are there logs in outlook or teams showing there was a query made?

    • @LuiIacobellis
      @LuiIacobellis  Год назад +1

      This is an excellent question. I am sure that all create, retrieve, update, delete actions would be logged somewhere but I have never tried to find this myself. I'd suggest posting this over on the Microsoft Tech Community as someone else might have the answer. Hope this helps. techcommunity.microsoft.com/

    • @neutechnica
      @neutechnica Год назад +1

      It is highly unlikely that you would ever been given access to these logs without a highly compelling reason. The smaller the company, the better chance for shenanigans. Larger organizations will restrict these capabilities and build in alerting to notify organization watchdogs that someone is searching people's history. Bottom line, always assume that your chat history can be pulled and you'll be fine.

    Curious… can they see copy/pasted images? Not an image file but say you take a screenshot then paste it in the teams chat; there’s no file name or anything. Can they see the image?

    • @LuiIacobellis
      @LuiIacobellis  Год назад

      Yes they can. Teams messages are stored in the same manner as emails. Therefore any message sent can be audited.

    Hey, if I and my co worker spoke on the teams call without recording it, can IT or managers listen to that call in the future?

    • @LuiIacobellis
      @LuiIacobellis  11 месяцев назад +1

      This depends on how your organization configured your Microsoft environment. By default I don't believe that calls are recorded and your organization would likely need to communicate this to you if they were doing it.

  • @voicelesssoul

      Sorry for the delay. I'm not entirely sure how that would be possible. They would need your credentials to do that. I'd suggest checking in with your Microsoft administrator

    • @LuiIacobellis

      Yes. Deleting a chat just removes it from your chat menu, not the recipients and it doesn't actually delete the data where it's stored.
