How to block and report messages within Teams

Question

Hello

How do we block and report messages/senders in MS Teams?

We are using M365 E3, everything online suggests we need MS Defender or MS Purview on E5 to set up the report function.

Yes, E3 license is not enough. Part of the compliance solution is the new “Report a Concern” feature in Microsoft Teams.

User-reported messages availability may take up to 30 days from the date when you set up your licensing with communication compliance. Notably, communication compliance is available with the following subscriptions:

• Microsoft 365 E5/A5/F5/G5, trial or paid version with the Microsoft Compliance add-on
• Microsoft E5/A5/F5/G5 with the Insider Risk Management add-on
• Microsoft Office 365 E5 (Trial or paid)
• Microsoft Office 365 A5 (Trial or paid)
