Profanity filters in Teams
I see there are content filters for GIPH images but not for text, looking for something that can filter profanity from conversations.

For anyone that might be wondering about this, there is no quick way to do this, however I was able to figure out that you can put a policy in place under Office365 security and compliance (if you have admin access) > data loss prevention> policy, you can upload a list of words that you want blocked. It sure is a pain but its worth it, and you can set notifications to go to your admin team that can see the message (message is automatically blocked for all students so nobody will see what the person tried to type).

The ability to filter profanity is 100% necessary in the education field. I would say it is more needed in that license than, in any other license and not including it is price gouging the education field that is already under increasingly tight budgets.

This would be an important feature with the number of students now on teams

I think MS do not understand the frustation of SP's that support the Education. We've implemented the profanity filter. Problem, the swearing still pops-up and shows eventually after view minutes blocked. So come on MS get your stuff together and hear what we asking.

Can we also get Profanity filters in the Voicemail transcription (https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/289138-office-365-security-compliance/suggestions/40467697-allow-option-to-exclude-swear-words-being-transcri)? Voicemail is sending messages with profanity that didn't happen.

Also in an EDU enviroment that needs some sort of profanity filtering option on the A1 license. E5 is far too costly for a school to comply with regulations around minors and what they can and can not be exposed to.

Profanity check or some sort of dictionary check would be useful.

The education is most in need of this yet they add it only to E5 licensing 🤦🏻♂️ I dare one of Microfost to come and watch 3000 kids using teams and then they will understand why They need to include this! I really cant believe enterprise license have this and not educational. License.....
I bet the 2000 users in the bank “swear” daily 😂🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
EPIC FAIL once again been let down by MS

We are in the same boat, even with the setting turned to strict when they are in a video meeting and they are chatting, they can put whatever they want. If Microsoft wants the school to continue using this platform, they have to come up with a blocking option, it does no good to flag it, i mean it helps but we need to block.

Certainly agree there should be some word filtering in Teams, with schools wanting to press on to a educational version of O365 this is a must.

We need a way to filter words as well.

We need to have a list or import a list of inappropriate words and phrases to be blocked. This can be the same sort of list I can set up in Rules under Exchange admin center in 365

In a private conversation, you can turn Strict mode on, in the Settings. But in a Genreal conversation you cannot do this currently. Anyone on Microsoft working on this?

Hi guys any further update on this? Im hoping that staff can have a play with Teams before with a roll out in September 2018. But I cannot roll it out until the profanity filter is impleneted in conversations. Teachers have requested this as a must have feature. Quite rightly they say they dont have time to moderate a conversation. Thanks.
