Delete Meeting Conversations in Chat
Hi,
I don't want to keep meeting conversation times and history in chats tab. Please create Delete option. This shouldn't be saved at all. It is pretty silly to have a hide button instead of a Delete but you have delete button to delete the text in the conversation? I can also see security issues with this.
Please add Delete soon in chat for meeting conversation. Otherwise, advise on how to get rid of these saved meeting conversations. The hide option is not helpful.
Thanks

I teach young students and having to see all our old meetings/chats on the wall creates clutter that confuses them. They often reply to an old meeting chat long after a meeting ended, causing that old meeting to move down to the bottom of the feed as though it is currently relevant. This buries the current important content students need to see when they come to the wall, causing me to have to continually bump it. Then they get confused between the old meeting and upcoming ones because they are young and don't read the dates and details, etc. I had to create a class rule that once a meeting has ended, we are not allowed to post in that chat anymore, and even made a separate channel for "friend chat" to allow them a space for socializing, but they are young and forget. This is very annoying as a primary teacher.

We need to delete the chats. There can be bullying when teachers are not connected and we cannot avoid it. It wil be yor responsability because I am not able to delete the class chat while I'm not connected, so everything can happen in there.
We'll ask the government to cancel all the licenses. -

We really need this feature as soon as possible. It should be within the meeting organizer's ability to delete the entire chat after a meeting is completed. Otherwise, in some instances, we won't be able to use the chat and then Teams seems like a less desirable video conference meeting tool.

to the community - since Team owners can purge channels, would hosting your meetings in channels give you the ability to delete the chat stream after the meeting has ended?

Please prioritize the ability to permanently delete the chat. Chat is often extremely useful during a meeting, but for a range of reasons, including confidentiality and legal reasons, the chat stream may need to be deleted after the meeting. The meeting organizer should have the ability to do so. Without the ability to use and then delete chat, we have begun to look for an alternative platform to conduct some of our most important and sensitive meetings.

Agree, I had a meeting with 100+ people, and now the meeting chat has turned into a spot to ask questions rather than people funnelling them through the appropriate channels. As the organiser, I really need to be able to shut this group chat down.

I second this request. At least owners of a channel need to be able to delete meeting occurrences within the channel.

If a participant posts PII data (Personally identifiable information) to chat there is currently no method to moderate and delete it other than by the person who posted it.

Agreed. All of this. We need to be able to shut down conversations post meeting that have gotten out of control. Right now we can't and they just keep going.

Fully agree, I need to have clear chat not with all information who and when joined, I need to be able to delete chat after the meeting for example. If I have a series I have whole wall of joined and left infos!

I agree. I hate that I cannot delete anything in Chats tab. It adds to clutter.

Same issue. I created several "meet now" meetings just to test & train users in how to use the meetings. Now I don't need them and they are not pertinent to anything. They just take up space.
We need to delete them. -

I agree, we have sensitive internal chat discussions using Teams, that we do not want to be archived. We need to be able to handle our internal corporate business files the way we need to, not the way Microsoft thinks we should

May be be useful especially when a conversation has occured in the wrong Teams space or channel by mistake.

I second this. If you create a group and then add Teams functionality, you can delete the meeting, but if you create a Team without creating a group, then you can't.
