Hi Bruce,

This does not stop the welcome message being sent out however I came across the powershell command to disable this. By default for us the group is created with WelcomeMessage set as True, to disable (set to false) this you need to run the following command:

Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "Name of your group" -UnifiedGroupWelcomeMessageEnabled:$false

This stops the welcome message from being sent.

Hi Bruce Weatherford

I found this thread as I got exactly the same wish. Disable the mail "You have been added to a team in Microsoft Teams" coming to a new team member.

I have checked my team/group and the parameter WelcomeMessageEnabled is set to False already (I haven't changed anything).

So my question is, has this parameter been appreciated and no longer respected, or is there anything else we can do to disable the welcome mail coming in?
