Assessment Reasoning
This is a new feature rollout adding a streaming switchboard for managing NDI sources in Teams meetings and events. Admins must adjust meeting policies using the AllowNDIStreaming setting and instruct users to enable production capabilities. The change affects event production workflows but not everyday Teams meetings, so user impact is moderate. With rollout starting in early November, planning and configuration are required soon, driving mid-range urgency and implementation effort.
