Can you stop pupils from making calls, but allow them to receive calls
We are using Teams during the Corona lockdown and want to stop pupils from making calls to one another because we cannot monitor them. We do however want students to still receive calls from teachers...
The only way I see to achieve this is by means of disabling private chats in Teams
- We are in the same boat. I’m the net admin here. Initially I disabled private chat and private meetings because that’s what I was asked to do. No communication was possible at that point beyond channel conversation. So then I disabled allow scheduling of private meetings and. That also stoped teachers from being able to setup meetings as-hoc. This seems like something that should be obtainable but I haven’t had any luck. It is also frustrating how long the policy’s take to apply and apply changes. I’ve had to manually flush clients cache in the teams app to get their client to allow chats with students after disabling it. Urgh.
Stay Healthy.jdub44 Disable only the Private Call. The user will not be able to make and receive private call. The staff has to setup a meeting with the student to have a call..
navigate to Teams Admin -> Users -> View Policy - > callingpolicy - DisAllow Calling
Is this the only way to do? So staff cannot just private call, they have to setup a meeting?
jcgonzalezmartin Would disableling private calls in teams admin achive this perhaps?
jcgonzalezmartin but would this stop staff from calling the student?
