You can adjust the setting of your Class Team to limit what students are able to do within that team.
To access the relevant menus, click on the three dots next to your team name and select "Manage team".
From the main screen you can select "Mute students" (pictured below) to prevent students from adding chat messages to the Team's chat channels. You may wish to untick this setting during meetings and then re-enable it after your meetings are finished.
Creating new channels
In the channels tab, you can create Channels within your team. From the "Add channel" menu you can choose to create a private channel. Instructions on private channels can be found by clicking here.
Moderating the General channel
To manage moderation on a channel, select the three dots next to the name of that channel and select "Manage channel".
In the General channel, you can adjust the permissions to restrict who can post messages.
The settings in channels other than the General channel are a bit more advanced. See below for more information
Moderating other channels
In the channel settings of channels other than the General channel you can enable "Channel moderation". With Channel moderation enabled, the channel can be managed by people who are given the moderator role for that channel. By default, team owners are channel moderators and can't be removed. Clicking on the "Manage" option will allow you to add moderators who are not Owners of the team.
Channel moderators can:
Start new posts in the channel. When moderation is turned on for a channel, only moderators can start new posts in that channel.
Add and remove team members as moderators to a channel.
Control whether team members can reply to existing channel messages.
