Turn off ability to create teams
We also have had a A1 plan with Azure Basic which should be included. It is difficult to setup the process but it should be supported to disable this feature.

We do not recommend to disable people from creating Teams as it takes away a lot of the value that Teams provide. Instead we would recommend to double down of user education -- and make users aware that the admin can see who created certain Team in case their is an inappropriate Team being created.

Classic case of "software provider thinks they know best" 🥴
Education is great, sometimes it doesn't work and user privileges are a better safeguard. We don't have time to be constantly educating people on what is not best practice and fixing up the issues caused by software that has dumb flaws in design.
Imagine saying "oh no, there's no need to have private folders.. just educate people not to go into the folders they shouldn't". Absolutely ludicrous.
It's "in case there is" by the way, not their.
