Microsoft Teams: Admin Center – Admins can disable ability to send messages in meeting chat before and after the meeting

Microsoft Teams Admin Center has introduced enhancements to the existing 'Meeting Chat' control. This control is now equipped with two new options: "In-meeting only for everyone" and "In-meeting only except anonymous users". These options can be accessed from Teams Admin Center, in the Meetings > Meeting Policies > Meeting Engagement section, where admins will be able to choose from five available options for the "Meeting Chat" setting. The "In-meeting only" options will disable participant's ability to send messages in the meeting chat before or after the meeting for meetings organized by specific users in their tenant. Participants will be able to read past chat history but no one can send messages in the meeting chat unless the meeting is active. This addition to the Microsoft Teams platform will further empower admins to offer their users more control over their meetings and make the experience more secure.
