This appeared in our tenant today; however, In meeting doesn't seem to work like it's worded, when it's set to this, only the Organizer can chat, but no presenters or attendees. BUT it does mean that it can be disabled to stop chat after the meeting is done.
bryanm-imh Hey can I ask where you found those settings? I see similar ones but not those exact ones. Thanks
NVM I found it. Is there a way to set the defaults for those meeting options?
Microsoft is rolling out chat moderation settings which allows an organizer of meeting to manage participant’s ability to chat prior to, during and after a meeting.
If you select In-meeting only, participants can send message during the meeting only and the organizer can send messages all the time (after meeting as well).
