Transform Classroom Time with 13 New Microsoft Teams Updates – Bett 2019 Recap

Justin Chando 

I'm a bit late to the party, but while researching whether there are any news concerning a restriciton of students' ability to initiate private chats that is more fine-grained than on/off (i. e. they can't chat to each other, but they can message their teachers), I stumbeld on this post (I must've overlooked the last time around). 

Under #9 it mentions what I've just described above ("a common request is to allow student-to-teacher chat, while also having the option to prevent students from chatting with each other"). 

However, this announcements has remained the only mention of that idea available online; the link provided above leads to another piece of Teams documentation.

Are there any news on this? 

Any information would be much appreciated!

Cheers
