Yoav Crombie, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at AGAT Software, commented: “The pandemic made many educational institutions invest massively in Unified Communications platforms like Webex Teams.” Further, he added, “Webex Teams offers many degrees of freedom for collaboration and communication, and that can be very useful sometimes; however, there are many scenarios where compliance, security, and institutional rules require more controls. For example, there is a need for a rule blocking a 12th-grade student from talking with a 5th-grade student.”

- Block students from communicating between grades
- Double-check, a teacher, is present in every communication
- Automatically assign moderator role for the teachers
- Control who can create spaces
- Block students from communicating with other users and also blocks external users from adding a student to their space
- Control over addition and deletion of participants

- Restrict troublemakers to communicate only with teachers
