Hard mute students audio in a meeting (so they cannot unmute themselves)

Teachers should be able to mute students voices in a way that they cannot dis activate. This could be used for lecture. Or to stop students interrupting on purpose.

    Can this also be in commercial tenants? We run education and outreach and don't want to miss out on these features.

    This is hampering the implementation push for MS Teams as only standrad tool across university. faculties do get back to WebEx or Zoom tools which are not at all comparable with Teams just for this control. From competitive perspective aa well this is very crucial basic need for MS Teams.

    Please sort this ASAP!! We had an assembly this afternoon with 300 year 11s and it would have been good to mute them all permanently. There were some being silly (somewhat understandably given it was their graduation assembly) and had to keep muting all. One just had to be removed from the channel completely, but wouldn’t have needed to if you could keep them muted
