Lock Meetings in Teams
Meetings are meant to be a public forum to communicate and share critical data. Everything shared in chat remains in an archive, available for future needs. There are times when privacy is needed.
To lock a Teams meeting chat:
- you must be the meeting organizer or co-organizer
- After joining the meeting, select People from the toolbar
- In the Participants pane, select More actions (three dots)
- choose Lock the meeting (or Unlock when locked)
