Participants were kicked out of a Teams meeting with a message saying they had been removed. I couldn't find a clue in the Purview audit logs, and support said other participants may be able to remove people. How can we prevent this in important meetings?
Why are people being removed from our Teams meeting?

Check the meeting roles first. Organizers and presenters can remove participants, so a meeting where everyone joins as a presenter gives a lot of people that ability. For important meetings, limit who can present and have the rest join as attendees.

The missing audit entry may not tell you who removed someone. The source information suggests removal isn't logged, though that doesn't establish what happened in this particular meeting. Keep the support case open and ask whether there are any other diagnostics they can check.

Support said participants could remove other participants. Is that different from being a presenter?

Yes. Presenter is a meeting role, and someone attending the meeting can have it. Check the roles assigned in the meeting rather than assuming everyone who joins is an attendee.
