Disable Group Chats
- Hi hakannorberg
Private chat can be disabled in the messaging policy in the Teams admin centre - however this is for all private chats - 1:1 and group private chats.
I would recommend raising a uservoice here

Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris
I fully agree with original poster - Teams admin should give us the ability to create a policy that disables somebody's ability to create group chats but still do 1:1 chats.
That comment was from 2020, about 2 and a half years ago
The new feedback portal is here: Microsoft Teams · Community. There is nothing which was raised previously after advising so if you would like to see it please raise this on feedback.
Best, Chris
- I raised a new feedback here along the lines of the original request, where we want to leave 1:1 chats available, but just disable ability to create/participate in GROUP chats:

I have however voted on 2 other ideas that ask for the same thing.
technonath wow, i'm not sure what happened to mine. I wasnt told anything about it being removed and it definitely hasnt been implemented.
I have also voted on a few others asking for the same thing:
