Disable private chat but allow receiving chats

We disabled private chat for our students, but as a result, they cannot receive private chats as well: Administrator has disabled chats for this user   Teachers must be able to communicate directly...

    As far as I know conditional private chat is not available.

     

    I don't work in an educational setting but we have disabled private chats in our organization. What we do is have 'private' chat channels inside of the Team for one-on-one private chats.

     

    I.E - You would have a 'Grade 8' team with all students in it. The teacher would then have a private chat channel with each student. The only thing to keep in mind is that all students would be able to chat in the 'General' channel that gets created by default when setting up a new Team.
