Cannot disable Chat in meetings
Hi,
We are setting up a meeting, where we send the link to outside users, and the goal is to have them joining the meeting, by typing their name and after someone admits them to the meeting we do not want them to be able to use the chat. However we are not able to do this, since this user continues to be able to use the chat.
For guest access we already disabled the chat. For users in this tenant, we activated the policy to disble also the chat, and that is working.
But for outside users, that do not sign in, use a office 365 account from other tenant, this continues active.
For what I have been reasearching this should actually be the oposite and this type of users should not be able by default to use the chat.
Anyone as ever seen this?
Rgs,
RM

Yes, in my setup that is disable. But that only will applies to the internal users to the tenant. And that is working for those users. You can see it in attach printscreen2. The issue is with the anonymus users that by default should not have the chat as I saw in several other posts, but in my case they have.
Thanks- ChristianBergstromSilver Contributor
Ricardo Mendes The 'Allow chat in meetings' is a per-organizer policy. Have you verified the meeting organizers assigned policy?
