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.

Grzegrzyk If a student switch from a conversation in a team channel to a private chat group the teacher cannot see that conversation.

ChristianBergstrom Is it the same with school IT administration? What about teams created for students by students?
