Assessment Reasoning
This is a new Outlook Mobile feature warning users when external recipients are added to meetings. It is an awareness improvement that lowers data leak risk but does not require admin configuration. Admins should monitor rollout timing and inform users where appropriate. User-facing change is moderate as it adds a visible banner during meeting creation.
