Moderating class team conversations is a great way to ensure a safe, appropriate virtual environment for students. Class team owners can mute students, preventing them from commenting or replying in class conversations. Owners can also delete any sent messages deemed inappropriate and keep other students from seeing the deleted posts.

Students can be unmuted at any time, but deleted posts cannot be recovered.

Notes: 

Mute students in settings

  1. Navigate to Teams.

  2. Select More options  More options button on the class team's tile you'd like to manage.

  4. Select the Members tab. You’ll see your students listed. Select the checkmark box under Mute students to prevent students from commenting or select the top checkbox to mute all students at once.
