In our new Teams admin center we have a ton of new controls at our fingertips including Messaging Policies, which we are going to use, but this sadly does not have an easy way to deploy to only Student based licenses. In there it had a very nice feature in which you could select anybody assigned a “student license” and disable specific features in Teams for only that user base which is awesome! But this no longer works. ![]() In the past the Microsoft Teams “admin settings” used to live under the old Services & add-ins blade within the Office 365 admin center. ![]() ![]() We are trusting the adults in our school districts to know what’s acceptable and what’s not but our student base we may want to gradually allow them the ability to use private chat as district IT and legal feels more comfortable. One of the top requests I get is “Nick how do I disable private chat for my students only?”. However in education we have a bit more specific use cases and restrictions since we are dealing with a younger user base. Microsoft Teams is a powerful collaboration tool with usefulness that spans across segments like enterprise, SMB, and education. ![]() I highly recommend you take a look at that resource before continuing. UPDATE 03/19/20: Microsoft has recently released a fantastic doc that walks through this very same process but doing so much more efficiently.
