I need to know how to disable all participants' videos in MS Teams when scheduling the meeting.

Question

I conduct my lectures online. I need to stop any participants turning on their cameras and showing their videos. This is not about the option "Turn off incoming videos" after the meeting has been started. I need to disable all participants turning off their videos when I'm scheduling the meeting. So that no one can ever turn on their videos meanwhile the lectures are being conducted.

@Shanya Patrik ,

To prevent camera use, after scheduling the meeting and sending out the invite, the meeting organizer can disable the mics and cameras so that attendees can't use them during the meeting. For more details, please refer to this article.

Besides, you could also contact Teams administrator to assign a specific meeting policy which disable the IP video feature to the participants.
