Teams Meeting organizer can force mute audio/video for attendees
Give meeting organizers the ability to force mute audio/video for all attendees in the meeting options page. Attendees should not be able to un-mute their audio/video with this option set.

Based on your feedback, we have increased the priority for this feature. The feature team is working on this and are planning to release this quarter. Stay tuned for updates. Thanks.

We need to be able to set 'join muted and with video off' as Meeting Options - both Audio & Video. Thanks

how to stop participants in a meeting from unmuting themselves without the permission of presenter/organizer. it is really annoying for the education sector for virtual classrooms.

Hey guys, As a client who uses your platform to perform meetings with 60-200 ppl every month. Force muting and maintaining control over the flow of the conversation is a MUST... It has been nearly impossible to do without this. We are receiving numerous complaints on OUR unprofessional inability to properly conduct these large meetings.

Needed:
1. Ability to mute all attendees, leave presenters unmuted/video on
2. Ability to turn off all attendee video
3. Meeting options to set these prior to meeting -

Agreed - attendees should not be able to un-mute themselves if a host/organizer or presenter muted them. Also not to mention Live Events is VERY clumsy to use - nowhere near as easy as WebEx Events or Zoom, and the latter having that is sad. Even Skype had this ability, however could not do it for phone calls - definitely need to be able to keep phone call-ins muted as well since they have the potential to be the most disruptive.

Will this feature only allow permissions for owners to MUTE ALL and not participants to mute ALL or OTHERS?

This is a basic requirement available in other solutions. When will this functionality be available in Teams?

I'm working with adults. Strangely, it is a very important for me to be able to mute students. A child is shouting, somebody is asking question about supper and so on.

Definitely need the ability to unmute participants once you mute them. It enables meeting management, and is a standard feature in GoToMeeting, Zoom, and other platforms.

We need an option for unmuting all so that kindergarten teachers can unmute for their little kids students. Thank you
