Prevent Members To Create Private Team Channels

How to prevent the members to create private channels in Microsoft Team using Microsoft Graph API

Microsoft Team is a communication product/service from Microsoft 365. This helps the user to connect and communicate between the users within the organization or external Organization. There are two sets of user types within an Organization for a Team. Those are Owners and Members.

By default, the Team owners and members can create Channels and Private Channels. In this blog, I would like to show you how to prevent the Team members to create private channels.
