Teams - "allow meeting chat" options missing from teams meetings

[jblackburnHWGA]

There used to be an option in the meeting options where you could enable or disable chat in a team meeting. It has disappeared from the options. Some of our students are taking advantage of this and just using it to chat during teams lessons.

 

Does anyone know why it disappeared or how to get it back?

Admin > Teams > Messaging > Messaging Policies ?

 

Unless in an actual Teams meeting/class - then it should be supervised chats?

This is in a meeting not in teams in general. I've edited the title to clarify.

Basically when you schedule a meeting then change the meeting settings you can no longer disable chat in the teams meeting.

Still listed in the support doc:

Got it. If you go into a teams and schedule a meeting from the team it doesn't show as an option.

If you go into calendar and schedule a meeting it does show.

 

We'll just change our advise to teachers.

 

Thanks
