Only owner of the Team to start the meeting call
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/meeting-policies-in-teams
Hi! This is determined with meeting policy’s:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/meeting-policies-in-teamsThe problem of Policy packages is that it divides the people in organization to teachers and students. It may work for academic educations but in my organization, a trainee is sometimes a trainer in online vocational trainings and the roles swap. On the other hand, the change of policies takes time and it is not done instantaneously.
@SvenBakker is there really a safeguarding issue if your pupils can talk to each other? Don't they talk at school?
Talking of students to each other is not a problem. The problem is that when a teacher (who is also the owner of team) starts a meeting and another student starts another meeting. Then, there will be a few parallel meetings and this is very confusing for the other students which meeting to join in. In other words, the organizer is not necessarily the team owner.
I think the solution is that when the owner restricts posting messages in a channel, there should be another settings for the restriction of meetings. At the moment, when I restrict posting messages in a channel to team owners, the meet button is removed from the channel for members in Desktop app but it still exists in android apps (maybe it is a bug).- I was trying to edit teams policies, but that is available only for organization admin, who is not me. I just want to edit 1 team that i am the owner. In the team options, there is a Manage team -> Settings -> Member permissions menu, it will be very nice if there is a setting that say "Allow members to start/schedule a meeting" yes/no. Just that. Waiting for!
- Yes, that is a good idea. I think you should post it on https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com
adam deltinger, thank you for your reply.
I have looked at the admin page, but a lot of text is greyed out. Could it be that the schools administrator has locked out these features?
This is the first time I'm working with Teams, and you never know whats up with school computers, so is it possible that the schools administrator did something?
Thank you again.
