According to the Microsoft documentation 1 , you can use the Teams usage report in the Microsoft Teams admin center to get an overview of the usage activity in Teams. This includes the number of active users, channels, guests, and post messages via chat and conversations to know how many users in each team are actively using Teams to communicate and collaborate. However, this report only shows the last 7 or 28 days of activity of teams, which may not be enough to identify inactive teams over a longer period.

Alternatively, you can use PowerShell scripts to generate activity reports that check t he audit records of inact ive teams and provide an HTML report file based on SharePoint site activity in the group’s document library in the past 90 days and conversations that occurred in the mail box in the past year 2 . However, this method requires writing complex and time-consuming PowerShell commands, which may not be feasible for administrators who need to produce multiple reports on a daily basis.

Another method to detect inactive teams in your Teams environment is by setting an expiration policy for the associated group in Azure AD.  This notifies the owner of the team or group by sending an email to renew or delete the team after specified days if no activity is detected 3 . However, this method also has some drawbacks, such as:

The owner may fail to notice the email or renew the team within the timeline of the configured policy, resulting in the team being deleted automatically and not being restorable after 30 days.

The expiration policy applies to all Microsoft 365 groups in an Azure AD organization, not just Teams. This may affect other groups that are not related to Teams.

The expiration policy requires Azure AD Premium licenses for the members of all groups to which the policy is applied.

Therefore, based on this information, the correct answer is D. the Teams usage report. This report is the most straightforward and accessible way to find inactive teams in Microsoft Teams, even though it has some limitations. The other options are either not related to finding inactive teams (Teams advisor) or require additional licenses or permissions (the Office 365 Groups activity report and the Teams user activity report).

To prevent guest users from calling your company’s Teams users, you need to turn off the calling capability for guests in the Teams admin center. Here are the steps to follow:

Sign in to the Teams admin center with your admin credentials.

Go to  Users   >   Guest access .

Turn off the  Make private calls  setting. This will disable the peer-to-peer calling feature for guests.

To ensure that when users dial emergency numbers, the call is routed based on the user’s current location, you need to enable the external location lookup mode in Teams. This mode allows Teams to use the location services of the device’s operating system to suggest an emergency address for the user. The user can then confirm, edit, or enter a new address, which will be used to route the emergency call to the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). Here are the steps to follow:

Sign in to the Teams admin center with your admin credentials.

Go to  Voice   >   Emergency policies .

Select  Add .

Enter a name for the emergency calling policy, for example, “E911WFH”.

Turn on  External location lookup mode .

Select  Apply  to create the policy.

To assign the policy to the users who need it, go to  Users  on the left menu and select the users that you want to apply the policy to. You can use the filters or the search box to find them.

On the right pane, under  Policies , select  Edit  next to  Emergency calling policy .

Choose the policy that you created from the drop-down list and click  Apply .

Note: It may take up to 24 hours for the changes to take effect.

Now, you have deployed and installed the Microsoft Viva Connections app to Teams as the first item on the app bar for all users.

To ensure that all unused teams expire and are deleted automatically, you need to configure a Microsoft 365 group expiration policy. This policy applies to teams because they are backed by groups. Here are the steps to follow:

Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center with your admin credentials.

Go to  Groups   >   Expiration .

Turn on the  Enable expiration  toggle.

In the left navigation, go to Teams > Teams update policies.

Select an existing policy or create a new one by clicking Add.

Get the object ID of the new group by running the following cmdlet:

Get-AzureADMSGroup -Filter " DisplayName eq ' TeamsAdmin ' "

Copy the object ID from the output and assign it to a variable, such as $groupID, by running the following cmdlet:

$groupID = " your-object-i Install the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module by running the following cmdlet:

Install-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams
