Disable every Teams feature except creating and joining meetings

Copper Contributor

Hello everyone,

 

We're slowing opening up Teams to our company, but would like to prevent users from using other Teams features like data storage, chat, calls etc. Is there a way to only grant permissions or create a policy for users to only have meeting access?

 

Thank you!

Hi @Uscadmin 

You can disable chat  and other similar features for users in a Meeting policy. Set MeetingChatEnabledType to Disabled using PowerShell to disable chat. Similarly, you can disable other required features. Please refer the available cmdlet in the following page

Thanks,

Manu

Thanks for the reply @manuphilip 

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these cmdlets looks like they set policy while already in a meeting?

 

I'm looking to disable the features in the attached screenshot and grant users only the ability to join/host meetings.

 

 

Hi @Uscadmin 

Please remove the apps not needed in Teams applications from here in Teams admin center
