Only owner of the Team to start the meeting call

Hi! This is determined with meeting policy’s:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/meeting-policies-in-teams

The 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).
