Hi hakannorberg

Private chat can be disabled in the messaging policy in the Teams admin centre - however this is for all private chats - 1:1 and group private chats.

I would recommend raising a uservoice here

Hope that answers your question

That comment was from 2020, about 2 and a half years ago

The new feedback portal is here: Microsoft Teams · Community. There is nothing which was raised previously after advising so if you would like to see it please raise this on feedback.

Best, Chris

I raised a new feedback here along the lines of the original request, where we want to leave 1:1 chats available, but just disable ability to create/participate in GROUP chats:

Annoyingly your feedback link no longer works - did your idea get removed ?
I have however voted on 2 other ideas that ask for the same thing.
