Why someone cannot see/chat after leaving the meeting?
Hi folks, My company has some vendors. I setup the Teams meetings with all of them. They all called in using their company domain emails. After the call ends, one of the vendor always got kicked ...
Credmontgo Hello again, finally I have access to all work related stuff and here's the official info about the roadmap id Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365
A participants access to meeting chat will be dependent on how they were invited to the meeting:
- Who can see the chat for a single meeting?
- People who are invited to the meeting or forwarded the meeting invitation after it is scheduled have access to the chat before, during, and after the meeting (up to the 1000-person limit).
- People who are added to a meeting after it starts using the Invite someone field on the Participants pane (or are provided the meeting join coordinates in another way) will have access to the chat from the time they join to the time the meeting ends. They will not be able to see chat that takes place after the meeting ends.
- Who can see the meeting chat for a recurring meeting series?
- People who are invited to the full series have access to the chat before, during, and after the meeting (up to the 1000-person limit).
- People who are forwarded the invite of a single occurrence of the series or added to a meeting after it starts using the Invite someone field on the Participants pane (or are provided the meeting coordinates in another way) have access to the chat from the time they join to the time that meeting instance ends. They will not be able to see chat that takes place after the meeting ends.
Note: These changes do not impact channel meetings.
- Who can see the chat for a single meeting?
I was told this morning that Microsoft introduced a new deficiency on purpose that intentionally removes external users from meeting chats when a meeting ends. I'm struggling to find more information about this, including whether this "feature" can be disabled in Teams Admin.
We use the chat feature extensively during meetings. it is very frustrating that after a meeting's call portion ends, Teams now decides that the conversation should be over -- but only for external participants. This is probably done in the name of security, but it is seriously getting in the way of how we operate.

Well, look above. I even linked to the roadmap id. Just add them to the original invite not using only the meeting link.
- Yes. I read that:
"Microsoft Teams: Update to meeting participant's access to meeting chat
People added to a meeting via a meeting link and were not added to the original meeting invite will no longer have access to chats, files, notes, and other meeting content after the meeting ends. They will continue to have access to meeting assets during the meeting but lose access once the meeting ends.
Feature ID: 68853

It doesn't apply to my problem. I scheduled a meeting for this past Friday that included an external user on the original meeting invitation (Teams Meeting scheduled from within Outlook). As soon as the call portion of the meeting ended, he was removed from the meeting chat. Meanwhile, an internal user who was not on the original invitation, that we added to the call in progress, stayed on the meeting chat and contributed to it.
This is either not a good feature or it's not working as described above. Either way, the behavior of the software now makes it harder to communicate with stakeholders.- Have you even confirmed that it has actually been rolled out in your tenant with a test meeting? Your issue with that one external could be something else. Set up a meeting, copy and send only the link to a user outside of the original invite and verify the non-access when it ends.
I posted here because I've been experiencing symptoms very similar to those of the original poster. I just know this hasn't always been a problem and now it is. I checked the meeting chat history for one of my recurring meetings, and it appears the problem began on 3/30/21. Does that coincide with an early deployment of 68853? I don't know.
I would like to see more information about this new functionality than what Microsoft posted in the link you shared, including how to disable this "feature".
