Microsoft Teams, as a software application, requires specific configuration to guarantee an optimal experience. This configuration is based on Windows group policies that take into account the combination of source ports and the name of the Microsoft Teams client executable. So you can ensure smooth, high-quality communication during your virtual meetings.

This article serves as a warning so that you can anticipate this change and take the necessary steps to maintain a smooth, high-performance experience during your meetings and collaborations via Microsoft Teams.
