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 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.
