How to Disable Meeting Chat in Microsoft Teams

In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how you can disable meeting chat before and while a meeting is already in progress. Additionally, I also show how to configure Teams to only allow chat while you’re in the meeting. This setting combined with a lobby means that conversations only occur when you are present in the meeting.
