Thanks for your response. This is what we're trying to avoid, we want to eliminate the ability of the staff to delete these conversations.

Microsoft markets and treats Skype as a consumer product (it is free after all) and therefore offers almost no centralized business control.<br />
<br />
Microsoft Teams, conversely, has quite a bit of compliance knobs you can tweak to meet your business IM needs. If you need that control, Teams is the appropriate Microsoft solution for business.

Hi - I was wondering if there was any way to prevent Skype messages from being deleted. There have been issues in the office where there have been inappropriate conversations, and the employees are being notified, but we're trying to find a solution moving forward where conversations cannot be deleted. I thought that there may be a GP that could be setup, but not sure - If anyone has any ideas, please let me know - thanks!
