MS-700 Monitor, Report on, and Troubleshoot Teams Practice Question
You are using the Network Planner in the Teams Admin Center to prepare a new site for 500 users. After entering the user personas, the tool indicates that the available bandwidth will be exceeded during peak hours. What should be your next step to ensure a successful rollout?
⚠ Common exam trap
MS-700 often tests whether candidates confuse QoS with bandwidth expansion; the trap is selecting an option that reduces features (like disabling video) instead of optimizing traffic.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Implement Quality of Service (QoS) and prioritize Teams traffic.
When Network Planner indicates bandwidth will be exceeded, implementing QoS and prioritizing Teams traffic is the correct next step because it ensures real-time media (voice/video) gets priority on the network, mitigating congestion without degrading user experience. QoS uses DSCP markings to classify and prioritize Teams packets, which is a recommended practice for Teams rollouts. This addresses the root cause—bandwidth contention—rather than reducing functionality.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Implement Quality of Service (QoS) and prioritize Teams traffic.
Why this is correct
QoS is the recommended solution for managing bandwidth constraints. By tagging Teams media traffic, the network can prioritize audio and video packets, ensuring that even when the network is busy, communication quality remains high and users do not experience dropouts or lag.
- ✗
Disable video for all users in the Teams Meeting policy.
Why it's wrong here
While disabling video would reduce bandwidth, it is a drastic measure that severely limits the collaboration experience. A better administrative approach is to optimize the network or use QoS rather than removing core functionality that the business likely requires for its daily operations.
- ✗
Increase the 'Media Bit Rate' in the Teams Meeting policy.
Why it's wrong here
Increasing the Media Bit Rate would actually worsen the problem by allowing Teams to consume even more bandwidth per user. This would lead to even greater network congestion and higher packet loss, contradicting the goal of fixing a bandwidth deficit identified by the planner.
- ✗
Switch all users to the 'Web Client' persona in Network Planner.
Why it's wrong here
Changing the persona in the tool only changes the prediction; it does not change the actual network consumption of the users once they start using Teams. This action would result in inaccurate planning data and would not solve the underlying physical network capacity issue.
