Microsoft Teams Will Allow Supervisors to Delete Others’ Messages Microsoft is adding a new capability to Microsoft Teams that will enable supervisors to clamp down on users' messages if they fall out of line with what is deemed acceptable. Soon, chat supervisors will be able to delete inappropriate or derailing messages so that conversations don't meander or become toxic. By default, Microsoft Teams allows users to delete their own chat messages, but there is no option to delete the messages of other people. However, there could be situations where managers or teachers may want to remove inappropriate or irrelevant chat messages from Team members. Microsoft describes the feature as being inspired by Teams for Education. "This feature, designed with our Teams for Education users in mind, allows chat supervisors to delete inappropriate, off-topic, or other messages in a Teams chat."
