Microsoft Teams Security Settings

Customizing Tombstone Messages

If a message/file is tombstoned, a tombstone message will appear instead of the tombstoned message/file. The original message/file becomes inaccessible to the sender and the recipients in the chat/channel.

Administrators can customize the tombstone message for both messages and files.

To customize the tombstone messages:

  1. Navigate to Security Settings > SaaS Applications.
  2. Click Configure for Microsoft Teams.
  3. To customize the tombstone message for messages, update the Microsoft Teams Message field.
  4. To customize the tombstone message for files, update the Microsoft Teams Files field.
  5. To allow users to unblock tombstoned messages, enable the Allow unblock message checkbox.

  6. Click Save.
