Teams - Disable 1:1 chat and calling for students

[techie17]

Does anyone have a guide on how to disable students chatting and calling each other in Teams? We only want staff/teachers contacting or calling the students.

 

Thanks

Need to apply a Meeting policy to students - you can apply policies which MS haveready made which you can apply, or you can make your own.

 

Policy to MS Meeting Policy to apply is the Education_SecondaryStudent

 

You can apply in small numbers via the Web Interface or you can use Powershell to apply in bulk.

 

I used Powershell to apply Policy Assignments to all staff and students - the Policy Assignments apply the individual Policies to users - once applied you can then modify them.

 

Need to install the MSTeams module first

 

install-module MicrosoftTeams -Force -Verbose

It doesn't give the option to select Education_SecondaryStudent just the Education_Teacher or the custom one i made. How can i choose the Education_SecondaryStudent one?

On your Admin area for Teams, of you look at Policy Packages it should show the packages avaiable.

 

You can then click on them and it should show the policies.

Also - if you go to a user area with Teams Admin, you should see Show Policies.

 

If you click on one of those it should show the polcies applied to that user.

 

User Policy Package - when you click edit, it should allow you to select Education (Secondary school student)

 

That will apply all the student policies to that student.
