Participant controls in meetings - block attendee video
Just another Skype for Business feature that hasn't been built in Teams yet - need the ability to block / disable all attendee video as part of standard participant controls (including make all participants attendees, mute all, mute lock etc.) This was done really well in Skype for Business, but for some reason we are starting from scratch with meeting participant controls in Teams.

Thank you for your feedback! The team is planning for this work. We will share an update as soon as one is available.
For the separate feature ask to disable attendee audio, we are pleased to announce this has been released. For more information, please see this UserVoice item https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103/suggestions/39784519.

Just Add The Option To Tell The Name Of The Person Who Kicked/Muted Someone. And Also We Should be Able To Disable And Enable Mute Lock. We Should Also Be Able To Block Certain Videos And Not All Of The Videos Because Sometimes When I Need To See Notes Etc. I See Everyone And They Are Kind Of Inappropriate. Please Make This Possible As Soon As Possible.

There is now in meeting details the option to choose "Allow participants to unmute themselves." If you click no, it seems as though once you have muted a participant, you as the organizer do not even have the option to unmute the participant later to speak. This is not convenient. Allow organizers to have the ability to unmute the attendee later when he or she feels it's necessary.

I JUST WANT A FEATURE WHERE WE CAN SEE WHO KICKS OR MUTES SOMEONE IN THE MEETING! Thats the ONLY feature we NEED! How hard can it be to implement something so simple.?!!! So many of my online class got disrupted because some kept kicking someone out

You need to provide ability for meeting managers to mute all audio/video of attendees globally for entire meeting. Also it would be great to have that capability built in to the process of creating the meeting (LIKE ZOOM DOES!)

I have seen lots of notes for this being required for EDU which i agree, but having for all customers not just Edu is key!

This is critical for larger group events, or events with clients, where you need to be able to disable everyone's video to ensure that there are no privacy issues between clients

OMG. Please make this a priority. Adults don't know how to turn off their videos in meetings.

Educators need this option for video controls- including who can be seen in the screen.

We also need a "hard" mute for that student who continues to unmute to make inappropriate noises.

I am really not of an opinion one way or the other. I would prefer the cameras to be on the entire period. It does become tiresome to continually ask students to turn their camera on though so it would be nice to have that ability to do it for them.

As Meetings usage is increased, such feature has become necessary where the organizer needs to be able to control video and audio.

Kids started online schooling and for the kids to not have extreme lag issues and interruptions they should be able to just see the teachers video and the teacher see there video but not 20 other kids.
