Can someone provide some help?
1.) We need absolute clarity about how, when and where private chat histories are stored:
Attached is a screenshot of MFCMAPI exploring the hidden mailbox folder for "Conversation History\Team Chat". As you can see, there is ZERO chat history stored in this location. Yet when Teams is launched for the user, chat history is available.
2.) We need control over whether chat history is enabled (at all). Meaning that if an organization desires to use private chats, but does not wish to archive any data, they should be able to do so. The use of a deletion policy is not a viable workaround. The data must not be captured AT ALL if desired.
3.) End users should also be given the ability to delete certain private chat messages (if the organization allows it).
4.) Finally, can someone address the thread related to this over on Uservoice? The most recent response from Microsoft basically waived everyone off and as you can see, everyone is extremely frustrated.:
