Disable voice chat for Group Students/Members
You can disable Explain Everything's voice chat feature to the Students or Members of your Group if your school or company has a strict policy against using voice communication software or has a designated app for that, or there is some other reason for that.
By doing it, Students or Members of your Group will not be able to talk to each other or hear one another in collaboration, but will be able to record and add audio tracks to the Timeline as in the regular edition of the project.

Block Members from inviting other Members to their projects
If you want Members of your Group to be able to invite to their projects only Managers and Admins from your Group, you can enable that.
This way, no one from outside of the Group will be able to join projects created by their Members. The newly created projects will become private and only the directly invited Managers and Admins of the Group will be able to join them.
Mind that Members of the Group will not be able to create Web Video Links with this setting enabled.
Note: Students cannot invite other Students to their projects by default in Class and School Plans. This setting is unavailable on these plans and cannot be changed.
