Hi,
is it possible to disable the chat function for members in a Team against particularly members (i.e teachers). Our need is that it should be possible for a teacher to turn off the possibility that students can chat with the teacher when needed but that students can still chat with each other within a Team/channel

OK - but if the teacher would be the owner of the Team, could the teacher be muted by his self? y@ChristianBergstrom

@hittan61 Hello, well then the above to mute students in a class team is pretty obvious, isn't it? You can also prevent students from using chat in general or only during meetings. You have meeting options and policies available for that. Using policies will be more persistent though. There are many settings when it comes to the chat, soon the "Supervised chat" will be released as well.
You can start by reading this for guidance, your IT can assist setting things up Keeping students safe while using Teams for distance learning (microsoft.com)
