Teams - Meeting chat permissions question

[steven_layton_sl]

Hi all

We're using the meeting feature of Microsoft Teams in school to facilitate distance learning.

At the moment if a member of staff creates a Teams meeting with students, by default we currently allow students to use the chat function to communicate with the teacher. We disable their webcams and audio, so this is the only method within the Teams meeting of students asking a question of the teacher.

I'm sat with a test meeting infront of me, set up between a test student and myself. If a student messages something inappropriate, only the creator of the message (the student) seems to be able to delete it. The teacher can't. Is it possible for a staff user (who are all members of different policy groups to students) to be able to delete other peoples messages in meetings? I don't seem to be able to see anything in the Teams Admin console to set this.

In teams admin centre, check messaging policies....

As long as staff are owners of their teams....
