Hi there.
Absolutely, but you'll need to remove the audio call feature fra the user. Are you certain you want to do that??
Go to your Skype for Business Admin Center, locate the user and set the HD-Audio and video to None. This can also be accomplished using Powershell cmdlet:
Grant-CsConferencingPolicy -PolicyName BposSVoipDisabled
Or even better:
Get-CsOnlineUser <UserURI> | Grant-CsConferencingPolicy -PolicyName BposSVoipDisabled
Hope that helps.

Hi Kenneth,
Can you please provide the command to remove the video button only? I went into the Admin portal, to accomplish this, but it only disables the user from using it. The button is still present. Is there a way to actually remove the video button from the GUI?
Cheers,
Brian
Hi Brian.
Have you tried to sign out and back in?? This action will render the GUI again and the button will be gone. You know, you could achieve this for a large number of user with Powershell?? Also you can check the user with:
Get-CsOnlineUser <Identity> | ft sipaddress,conferencingpolicy
You will get the conferencing policy value assigned to the user.
If you run this cmdlet
Get-CsConferencingPolicy | ft identity
You will get a table of all the available policies, like this:
Identity -------- Global Tag:BposSIMPOnly Tag:BposSVoipDisabled Tag:BposSDataProtection Tag:BposSAllModality Tag:BposSAllModalityNoFT Tag:BposSAllModalityNoRec Tag:BposSVoipDisabledNoRec Tag:BposSIMPOnlyNoRec Tag:BposSIMPOnlyNoDialout Tag:BposSVoipDisabledNoDialout Tag:BposSDataProtectionNoDialout Tag:BposSAllModalityNoDialout Tag:BposSAllModalityNoFTNoDialout Tag:BposSAllModalityNoRecNoDialout Tag:BposSVoipDisabledNoRecNoDialout Tag:BposSIMPOnlyNoRecNoDialout Tag:BposSDataProtectionMinVideoBW Tag:BposSAllModalityMinVideoBW Tag:BposSAllModalityNoFTMinVideoBW Tag:BposSAllModalityNoRecMinVideoBW Tag:BposSDataProtectionNoDialoutMinVideoBW Tag:BposSAllModalityNoDialoutMinVideoBW Tag:BposSAllModalityNoFTNoDialoutMinVideoBW Tag:BposSAllModalityNoRecNoDialoutMinVideoBW Tag:BposSAllModalityNoVideo Tag:BposSAllModalityNoDialoutNoVideo Tag:BposSAllModalityNoFTNoVideo Tag:BposSAllModalityNoFTNoDialoutNoVideo Tag:BposSAllModalityNoRecNoVideo Tag:BposSAllModalityNoRecNoDialoutNoVideo Tag:BposSDataProtectionNoVideo Tag:BposSDataProtectionNoDialoutNoVideo Tag:BposSAllModalityWithPPANoFT Tag:BposSVoipDisabledWithPPANoFT
As you can see there are a lot of options to choose from, if you only want to remove the video, select one of the NoVideo policies.
I have made an Excel sheet of all the available conferencing options on my blog.
Hope this is useful to you.

Hi Kenneth,
Yes, the customer wants to do that for certain user accounts.
Let me share these things with customer and let you know.
Many thanks.
The client only shows features which have been enabled to the end user. Have you confirmed that the user in question has only got PC-to-PC Only set?
