Who can read your teams chats?

I was just wondering about my “MS Teams status” and stumbled over this:

What can your employer track inside Microsoft Teams?


1. Your messages in Teams Chat
2. Your deleted Teams Chats
3. Your calls if recorded them
4. All the files you created or sent in Teams
5. The device you are using to login to Teams

I couldn´t believe that this is true.

“Let’s cut to the chase: Everything you do in Microsoft Teams can be visible to your boss, but to be visible, an employer would need to implement or develop a tool to access Microsoft Teams data directly. We know this because we develop Teams apps to help Microsoft users access and use Teams data in Team calendars time tracking, calendar planning and resource scheduling. Through developing these systems, we can confirm that the following Teams data is accessible:

All one-on-one chats, group chats, and meeting chats as well as anything you have deleted

All of the meetings you have created or joined, along with the subject, date and time, attendees and duration

All of the things you create or delete such as Channels, Teams

The times and dates that you have logged in and logged out of Teams and the IP address from which you did so, the device you connected with and its operation system

All of the apps you use inside Teams

Any meetings you recorded – including the recordings

All files that you create or attach in Teams

The type and model number of any headset you use

The Microsoft “productivity” score. This has nothing to do with your productivity, it is a number that tells Microsoft how many Microsoft tools are being used. We mention this metric to ensure it is not misunderstood, misquoted or misused.
