Assessment Reasoning
This is a new configuration option for Teams Panels allowing organisers’ names to be hidden in calendar view. Admins can manage the setting centrally or on devices, but the default behaviour stays unchanged. The feature mainly affects room privacy management and requires light configuration review before rollout in early October 2026. User impact is minor since meeting visibility changes are optional and controlled by admins.
