Disable chat Join and Leave notifications

For a recurring Teams meeting with hundreds of invitees, the Chat will fill up with useless notifications such as '<Person> has temporarily joined the chat' (see attachment).

Is there some way I can turn off these join and leave notifications? The number of messages makes the Chat completely useless.

I use the Q&A panel during the call and have Chat turned off. After the call I will turn Chat on temporarily in order to post a message. This doesn't seem to affect the Join and Leave notices though, the notices will be published in the Chat even when Chat is off.

    Hi, I hope this solution helps:

    1- Go to the Teams Admin Center.
    2- Select Meetings > Meeting policies.
    3 Choose the policy applied to your recurring meeting.
    4- Under Meeting chat, set it to Off for everyone.
    5- If the meeting chat is already turned off, check if it is set to On for everyone except anonymous users and see if this resolves the issue.
    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. 😊
