Open the original- What it measures
- The diagnostic is for admins, and the page says it is not available in Microsoft 365 Government, Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet, or Microsoft 365 Germany.
- What it does not show
- The tool needs the meeting URL and the user's email address. It checks the user's account, not the meeting policy in every case, so review both.
