Hi Adam, can I ask. I'm trying to achieve the exact same thing. I have a resource account for a room, a laptop setup to be used in a conference room which uses that account. I want all chats in Teams to be automatically deleted, because otherwise anyone coming in afterwards can see them. They would need to be deleted for this one user only. Can I achieve this on a resource account? It would be super helpful if you could point me in the right direction for how to do this. Thanks!

Ana_B2110 The only right direction is to use a Teams Meeting Room device and license it with a Teams Room license, then this won't be a problem.

If you are using any other type of M365 license you are breaking the license terms by allowing it to be shared between users. You won't find a solution from Microsoft to allow you to use a standard license like this.
