You can disable chat for users in a Meeting policy, this will stop them from chatting in all meetings. Set MeetingChatEnabledType to Disabled using powershell.

You can mute all students or individual students and they won't be able to post in the chat during meetings. Meetings have to be hosted on a team channel.
- TechTeachTyner when you mute the pupils this way does this disable the chat. When I say chat, I am referring to the conversation that they can have when the lesson/meeting is running.
What are the different ways to mute them from talking and stop them chatting whilst lesson is running.
Thanks- Muting students in the Team prevents them from posting on a channel and typing in a meeting chat that is hosted in the Team channel. Students who are muted in the Team can still unmute in a meeting and speak, but can't type. The teacher can mute or hard mute a student in a meeting to restrict speaking.
TechTeachTyner Can muted students still raise their hands?
TechTeachTyner I have always done what you said and muted the students and that fixed it. However, no matter what setting I have on now, it appears as if they can chat whether I want them to or not. Did something change in the last week or so?
goodtimo ,
Are you still hosting the meeting in the channel? Organizations have admin rights to edit meeting settings too, so it may be that. Also hard mute is a new setting that is being rolled out.
TechTeachTyner Yes, in the channel. I had him check, admin can turn the conversations OFF or ON during a meet now meeting and that is it. We already have Chat disabled on the Left side of TEAMS for students already.
Something changed.
