Group Chats - What happens if the Group originator leaves the organisation?
Good day All, What happens to the chat history in a Group Chat if the Group creator leaves the organisation? We are using the Group Chat feature extensively. My understanding of the chat features...
We found that external participants (federated users) are automatically removed from the teams group chat created by ex-employee and Microsoft support confirmed it is expected behavior.
"it is a by-design behavior that if the user who created the group/meeting chat has left your organization, all external users will be auto removed from the group/meeting chat as soon as the group creator's AAD account is deleted. This is to ensure that customer's Teams chat resource without being monitored by a group creator will not be misused by external users."
