AnilGupta use a Teams Meeting Room device rather than a shared PC, it will maintain confidentiality and is broadly a better experience for use in meeting rooms.

    Cheers

      Neil_Foy Microsoft have a specific client and certification programme for meeting room devices, the app is then optimised for these shared use scenarios to maintain privacy between meetings.

       

      There are lots of different types of room hardware with this app installed, see Microsoft Teams Rooms Packages and Systems | Teams devices

        StevenC365 but this involves buying hardware, which we don't need.


        We're in the exact same boat as OP here. We have a several rooms added as "resources" that are shared with many users. The meeting chat history stays in the rooms after they leave, so the next people that are using the room can read it. 

         

        It's hard to believe that Microsoft didn't think about a way to disable this.
