Disable 'request control' in certain meetings
Is it possible to disable the 'request control' button for certain meetings?
I work in a big educational organisation where the admins turned on the option to request or give control, because for some it is a useful feature. But as you can understand, not for all (e.g. lectures with 100+ students, it's considered very disturbing). It would be great when the organiser of the specific meeting could decide him/herself in case they don't want the option shown.
Thanks!
- Ah ok, maybe try this
In the Teams Admin Centre > Meeting policies > select policy > content sharind > Allow a participant to give or request control > turn off
It looks like an all or nothing setting though so once the policy is applied it prevents it so would be difficult to do it for certain meetings. You can create custom policies and apply it to certain people though so maybe this would be good to try and create a policy with this off and apply it to certain teachers. Policies can take 24 hours to apply.
Let me know how you get on

Hmm, through presenter and attendee controls?

Best, ChrisChrisHoardMVP Thanks for answering.
Unfortunatly that doesn't do the trick. It's the first thing we do, but our students are still able to request control.- Ah ok, maybe try this
