Hi there, as an administrator is there any possibility in Mattermost to block 1to1 conversations and only allow group conversations ?  
Thanks for reading 🙂

Hi @StephaneJ,

I don’t think there is a setting to disable them, but we have a feature request issue open here that you can upvote: [https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/12954666-disable-direct-messages](https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/12954666-disable-direct-messages).
