Teams Feature Updates

Meeting Chat Moderation Settings

Timeframe: Mid-to-Late November

Microsoft is updating the Meeting options to allow an organizer to manage participants ability to chat prior to, during and after a meeting. Once available, meeting organizers will be able to set the "Allow meeting chat" setting within the Meeting options. This will enable them to manage participants ability to chat prior to, during and after a meeting.

Note: There are 3 options for this setting:
  • On (default): allows chat at any time.
  • Off: will make meeting chat read only and no one can send messages in chat including the organizer.
  • During the meeting only: participants can send message during the meeting only and the organizer can send messages all the time.
