A temporary Microsoft account issued by Teams for the session

To ensure a single user cannot permanently delete private chats in Microsoft Teams, a litigation hold should be placed on the user's mailbox. Teams private chats are stored in the user's Exchange Online mailbox (specifically in a hidden folder). A litigation hold prevents content from being permanently deleted, even if the user attempts to delete it from their client, ensuring it remains discoverable for compliance purposes.
