Students chat privacy in Teams for education

Recently I heard that teachers in Teams app have access to private messages exchanged between students. Is it possible?

  • Grzegrzyk A private chat is a private chat. Now this is very easily explained, but as an admin for org/school/business you could configure settings to see almost everything. So technically yes, but then you would violate all kinds of regulations and policies and be entitled to legal actions and penalties.
