Getting Started with RealMeeting for Microsoft Teams

What you need to know to get started using RealMeeting for Teams

Written by Ben M

RealMeeting is Reality Defender's real-time deepfake detection app for Microsoft Teams. It scans meeting participants for signs of AI-generated video or voice, so you can trust who you're really talking to in high-stakes conversations like interviews, leadership discussions, and sensitive external calls.

Follow the steps below to get RealMeeting up and running for your organization.


Step 1: Get a Reality Defender Account with RealMeeting Access

Before you can use RealMeeting, your organization needs an active Reality Defender account with RealMeeting enabled.

Don't have an account yet? Contact our team and we'll get you set up.


Step 2: Confirm Your RealMeeting Settings

Before your users can scan participants in Teams meetings, an administrator needs to enable access and review the RealMeeting settings in the Reality Defender web app.

Enable user access

On the Team page, turn on RealMeeting for each user who needs it. Users must have accepted their invite to your Reality Defender organization first, and their Microsoft Teams email address must match their Reality Defender account email.

Review the RealMeeting settings

Go to Settings > RealMeeting to review or change these settings.

Setting

Default

What it does

In-meeting consent message

Off

Shows participants a consent message in the meeting chat. They must accept before scanning can proceed.

Delete files after analysis

Off

Deletes the detection sample captured for each participant once the scan completes.

Scan retries

Off

Automatically rescans a participant flagged as Manipulated to minimize false positives.

Retry count

3

The number of times (1-5) a flagged participant is rescanned. Applies only when Scan retries is on.


Step 3: Install the RealMeeting App in Microsoft Teams

The app is installed once for your Microsoft 365 organization by a Microsoft 365 Global Administrator. It covers uploading the app package in the Teams admin center, granting admin consent for the permissions RealMeeting needs, and making the app available to your users.

For the full walkthrough with screenshots, see the RealMeeting Installation Guide.


Step 4: Learn How to Use RealMeeting

Once installed, you're ready to start using RealMeeting in your meetings. Our user guide covers how to:

  • Enable the app during a live meeting

  • Understand how participant scanning works

  • Read and interpret scan results (Authentic vs. Manipulated)

  • Respond appropriately if a participant is flagged

  • Review scan results for past calls in the Reality Defender web app
