The imper.ai Microsoft Teams add-on protects meetings from impersonation and deepfake attacks by verifying participant identities in real time.
It provides protected users with visibility into who has been verified, flags high-risk participants, and enables on-the-spot verification—all directly inside Microsoft Teams.
imper.ai uses multi-layer identity analysis, including digital identity, device, and network signals, to deliver zero-friction protection without disrupting meetings.
How imper.ai Protects Teams Meetings
imper.ai protects Microsoft Teams meetings through an Outlook Calendar integration.
When a protected user creates a Teams-enabled Outlook calendar invite, imper.ai automatically wraps the meeting with a secure, company-branded verification layer.
Participants are required to complete identity verification before joining the meeting, depending on organizational policy.
Pre-Meeting Verification Experience
Step 1: Create a Teams Meeting
Create a Microsoft Teams meeting using Outlook Calendar as you normally would.
Within a few seconds, the meeting link in the calendar invite is automatically updated to a company-branded verification link approved by your security team.
Create a calendar outlook
Step 2: Verify Before Joining
When you click the meeting link, you are redirected to a company-branded pre-verification page.
You can choose one of the following verification methods:
Continue with Microsoft
Continue with Google
Verify Manually by entering your name and email address
Remember My Choice (Optional)
If you select Remember My Choice, imper.ai remembers your verification preference for future meetings.
You will not be redirected to the verification page again for subsequent meetings, unless required by policy.
Continue as Unverified (If Allowed)
If your organization’s policy permits it, you may choose to join the meeting as an unverified participant.
Step 3: Join the Meeting
After verification is completed, you are automatically redirected into the Microsoft Teams meeting.
Verification results and risk scores are not shown to participants.
Only administrators can view detailed risk data in the imper.ai Admin Console.
Experience for External Participants
External meeting invitees follow the same verification flow when clicking the meeting link.
They are directed through the verification process and then automatically joined to the Teams meeting once verification is complete.

Using the imper.ai Teams Plugin During a Meeting
The imper.ai Microsoft Teams plugin provides real-time visibility and protection during meetings initiated by protected users.
Once installed, the plugin allows protected users to:
View each participant’s verification status
Receive real-time risk alerts
Monitor changes in participant risk during the meeting
Send verification requests to unverified participants
Receive recommendations on whether to continue or terminate the meeting
Sending a Verification Request During a Meeting
If a participant joins unverified or through an unauthorized link, you can request verification directly from the meeting.
How It Works
Identify Unverified Participants
In the imper.ai plugin panel, unverified participants are clearly marked with a Not Verified status or elevated risk indicator.
Send Verification Request
Click Send Verification next to the participant’s name.
imper.ai sends a secure verification link directly through the Microsoft Teams group chat.
Participant Completes Verification
The participant completes the same verification flow used before joining the meeting.
Automatic Status Update
Once verified, the participant’s status is immediately updated in the plugin—no meeting refresh required.
Audit and Logging
Verification details are automatically logged in the imper.ai Admin Console for auditing and post-meeting review.
This ensures that unexpected participants can be validated instantly, keeping meetings secure without interruption.
Key Things to Know
Verification is designed to be fast and minimally disruptive
Protected users do not see risk scores—only verification status and alerts
All verification activity is logged for security and compliance review
Meeting protection works automatically once configured by your organization
