Teams Live Meetings - entrance and exit announcements
While holding a live meeting in Teams, when someone dials in to the meeting or leaves the meeting, their entrance and exit is announced to the group. This disrupts the flow of the meeting when someone is talking/presenting. Please allow the meeting facilitator to turn off notifications of members entering and exiting the meeting. In addition, the option of universal mute would be great, as unmuted participants can often result in echo feedback which disrupts the meeting.

Nothing is more disruptive to a meeting than to constantly being inundated with entrance/exiting notification once a meeting is started.

Voted - Yet another feature in S4B, but not in Teams. Still finding it hard to justify a full migration to Teams.

Yes, this would be great on the individual level. It's currently an option to enable/disable only at the tenant level under admin permissions.

This is a much needed feature. Announcement preference and requirement can vary by meeting. The organizer should have the option to mute entry/exit announcements per meeting organized or once the meeting has begun.

agree to allow the facilitator the option of the universal mute

I wholeheartedly agree that this should be a selection that the meeting facilitator has the ability to specify, either during meeting scheduling process, or once the meeting has started. This effectively would provide the ability to override the global setting as deemed appropriate for the meeting topics and/or number of attendees. In small meetings a few entry/exit tones are not really an issue, but it can get real disruptive in a large meeting, particularly when large numbers of attendees are arriving late, or leaving early.

one word for describing a large call experience... miserable

Having this only at the global level is not very helpful. Some meetings are confidential in nature and the organizer needs to know who is on the call. Most meetings do not require this disruption. Would like global to be off but meeting organizers to be able to turn it on for their specific meeting.

It grinds a speaker to a halt and makes Teams unacceptable as a professional presentation tool.

Please allow the option to set it to Names only!

It is even more annoying due to the signifiant delay of the announcement, usually a couple of seconds. So the new participant may already have joined the discussion when he/she is announced.

How is this not an option for users to disable their entrance/exit tones, recorded name and name announce? I only see one tenant level config that applies to all my users. Where do users go in Teams to manage their audio conferencing preferences? I can't run a large meeting when 30 people are entering and exiting throughout the duration of the meeting.

Please allow meeting hosts to self enable/disable entrance tones, name announce and record name.
I can only set these settings globally for my entire tenant. How do I allow my users to self provision these meeting options? Skype for business let users set these options on their own from their Skype client.

We had a meeting today and someone was calling from mobile - and dropped their call at least 6 times within a 45 minute meeting. Very disruptive, very annoying. Please allow disablement - visual announcement or a single beep to alert you to look at the application should be more than enough.

This is SUPER obnoxious. Please allow us to turn this off!

This is right up there with being able to mute all participants. The constant dinging is just as disruptive.
