Hi,

What are the options available (PowerShell code, SharePoint admin center, or another Microsoft admin center) to disable or permanently hide the "Add real-time chat" option a.k.a "Teamify" that comes up in the bottom left-hand corner in SharePoint Team sites.

Please provide the PowerShell script that you may have used to disable this option.

Kind regards,

Nishanth Chakkere

    Hi @Nishanth Chakkere,

    Perhaps you are asking if we can disable this Add Microsoft Teams feature?

    But unfortunately, we can't. We can only hide the Teamify option and not disable it.

    Team sites are one type of site that you can create in SharePoint Online.

    They are named as such since it’s a place where teams can collaborate with each other and even use different apps together.

    As such, there are two types of team sites:

    1. Team sites with Microsoft 365 Group
    2. Team sites without Microsoft 365 Group

    From the name itself, the type depends on whether or not the site comes with an associated Microsoft 365 Group.

    So Teamify option is designed by SharePoint, and we have no way to disable it. However, some users don't want users to be able to use this feature, so we use a PowerShell command to hide it.
