MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
You need to prevent users from using Giphy in their private chats and team channels. Which policy should you modify to achieve this?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is confusing app-level controls (App Setup Policy, App Permission Policy) with content-level controls — Giphy is a messaging content feature, not an installable app, so only the Messaging Policy applies.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Teams Messaging Policy
Giphy integration in Teams is controlled by the Teams Messaging Policy, which includes settings such as 'Allow Giphy,' 'Giphy content rating,' and 'Allow memes and stickers.' To block Giphy in private chats and team channels, an administrator modifies the messaging policy assigned to users and sets Allow Giphy to Off. This is the only policy that governs in-conversation content features.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Teams App Setup Policy
Why it's wrong here
App setup policies are designed to control which apps are installed and pinned for users in the Teams interface. While Giphy is an integration, its specific usage within the chat compose box is controlled by messaging features rather than the installation or layout of the application bar.
- ✗
Teams Meeting Policy
Why it's wrong here
Meeting policies govern the behavior and features available during scheduled or ad-hoc meetings, such as screen sharing or recording. While chat exists within meetings, the global control for visual content like Giphys is defined in the messaging policy, which applies to all chat contexts.
- ✓
Teams Messaging Policy
Why this is correct
Messaging policies allow administrators to enable or disable features like Giphys, memes, and stickers. By editing the policy and turning off the Giphy toggle, or setting a content rating, you can immediately restrict users' ability to search for and send animated GIFs within the platform.
- ✗
Teams Update Policy
Why it's wrong here
Update policies are used to manage the rollout of new Teams client versions and features to users, such as the Public Preview. They have no impact on the functional configuration of messaging features like Giphy, which are static settings within the messaging policy framework.
