MS-700 700 Configuring Microsoft Teams Settings 5 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: An organization wants to configure Teams so that channel meeting recordings automatically expire after 60 days. Where is this configured?
- SharePoint site retention policy
- Teams meeting policy — meeting recording expiration (Correct answer)
- OneDrive storage settings
- Compliance center retention label
Correct answer: Teams meeting policy — meeting recording expiration
The Teams meeting policy includes a 'Meeting recording expiration' setting that automatically deletes recordings after a defined number of days.
Question 2: Which Teams feature allows administrators to create a read-only announcements-style channel where only owners can post?
- Private channel
- Shared channel
- Standard channel with moderation enabled (Correct answer)
- Information barrier channel
Correct answer: Standard channel with moderation enabled
Enabling channel moderation on a standard channel and setting only owners as allowed submitters creates an announcements-style read-only experience for members.
Question 3: A Teams administrator needs to allow an external organization's users to be added directly to Teams channels. Which feature enables this?
- Guest access
- External access (federation)
- Shared channels (Teams Connect) (Correct answer)
- B2B direct connect
Correct answer: Shared channels (Teams Connect)
Shared channels (Teams Connect) allow external users to collaborate in a channel without switching tenants, and they are added to the channel directly without being guests.
Question 4: What happens to a team when its associated Microsoft 365 group is deleted?
- The team is archived automatically
- The team and its associated content are soft-deleted and recoverable for 30 days (Correct answer)
- The team remains active but loses SharePoint access
- The team is permanently deleted immediately
Correct answer: The team and its associated content are soft-deleted and recoverable for 30 days
Deleting the Microsoft 365 group soft-deletes the team and its content, giving admins a 30-day window to restore it before permanent deletion.
Question 5: An admin configures an app setup policy that pins the Viva Engage app for all users. Users report they can still remove it from their left rail. What is the most likely reason?
- The app is not approved in the app permission policy
- The policy is set to allow user pinning, enabling users to rearrange or remove pinned apps (Correct answer)
- The Teams version is outdated
- The Viva Engage app requires a Teams Only coexistence mode
Correct answer: The policy is set to allow user pinning, enabling users to rearrange or remove pinned apps
If 'Allow user pinning' is enabled in the app setup policy, users retain the ability to reorder or remove admin-pinned apps from their navigation rail.
Question 6: A company's compliance team requires that all Teams private chat messages be retained for 7 years. Where should this retention policy be applied?
- Teams channel messages retention policy only
- Teams chats and channel messages — separate retention policies in Microsoft Purview (Correct answer)
- SharePoint retention policy
- Exchange Online mailbox policy
Correct answer: Teams chats and channel messages — separate retention policies in Microsoft Purview
Microsoft Purview (Compliance center) allows separate retention policies for Teams channel messages and Teams chats (private messages) to meet different retention requirements.
Question 7: Which setting in Teams admin center controls whether users in your organization can communicate with users from any external Teams tenant without pre-configuring each domain?
- Allow guest access
- Open federation — allow all external domains (Correct answer)
- Teams Only coexistence mode
- External participants lobby bypass
Correct answer: Open federation — allow all external domains
Open federation (allowing all external domains) in External access settings lets users communicate with any Teams tenant without requiring domain-by-domain allow-listing.
