    Yes, as an administrator, you can manage and control which apps and functionalities are available in Microsoft Teams, including during meetings. Here are some options:

    1. App Permission Policies: You can create and assign app permission policies to control what apps are available to users in Microsoft Teams. This includes blocking or allowing specific apps.
    • Go to the Microsoft Teams admin center. - Navigate to "Teams apps" > "Permission policies".
    • Create a new policy or modify an existing one to control which apps users can use.
    • Assign the policy to specific users or groups.

    2. App Setup Policies: You can use app setup policies to pin specific apps to the Teams client and control the order of apps. You can also remove apps from appearing in Teams.

    • In the Microsoft Teams admin center, go to "Teams apps" > "Setup policies".
    • Create a new policy or modify an existing one to customize app visibility and order.
    • Assign the policy to users as needed.

    3. Meeting Policies: Specific features within meetings can be controlled through meeting policies. This includes controlling the use of certain app functionalities during meetings.

    • In the Teams admin center, navigate to "Meetings" > "Meeting policies".
    • Create or edit a policy to configure settings such as whether attendees can use certain apps or tools during meetings.
    • Assign the meeting policy to users or groups.
