M365 Licenses - what to disable?

[Maxell]

The list of available products inside the M365 A3 license is now really long and I'm sure some are not recommended for students (or even staff in some cases!)

 

Which do you definitely untick to prevent use of?

I've removed access to the following for our Primary kids - haven't carried out the excercise for our secondary schools yet. Would be interested to hearing what else should ideally be blocked - many of which I have still enabled I don't exactly know what purpose they have:

 

- Exchange Online (Plan 2)

- Microsoft Bookings

- Microsoft Kaizala Pro
- Microsoft Planner
- Microsoft StaffHub

- Power Apps for Office 365
- Project for Office (Plan E3)

- School Data Sync (Plan 2)

- Skype for Business Online (Plan 2)

- Yammer for Education

 

Some things I have left, but even though not really primary school friendly, I don't think would cause us any major issues if they were being used i.e. To-Do, Whiteboard etc.
