In large meetings (250 people) people hit "mute all" and consistently silence the speaker, disrupting the meeting.

Please figure out a solution to prevent such disruptions in large meetings.

attendees should not be able to mute people.

Pls allow only admins to control the participants...some ************* are playing fools
by muting and removing other participants and it's disgusting..plss I hope your team launch and update and don't allow this ******* do this again -

There already is a solution, you just have to use it.
Only presenters have "mute all" capability, attendees do not. If you're letting all 250 people be presenters in large meetings like this, you're doing meetings wrong.

How about right clicking the speaker and an option to mute everyone but this person...

Meeting Options should allow you to set attendees as attendees blocking the ability for them to mute all, but Meeting Options appears broken right now because you (I) get "Something went wrong." any time I try to save the options.

I found the creation of a live event is not as intuitive as you'd think. It's quite easy to accidentally distribute the wrong link to everyone. Especially if the event has already been created, obtaining the correct 'attendee' link for distribution is perhaps a little odd.
Perhaps this situation is the underlying problem of this bug report ?

Change everyone to attendees and that should help

Perhaps use the showlight for the active speaker and make it so that the mute all function doesn't apply to the person in the showlight.

Use Live Events - anyone not a presenter can't mute anyone else or un-mute themselves, by default.
Alternatively, make sure only presenters are designated as such in the meeting options in a Teams meeting

Is it possible to have option to "mute all attendees" in addition to "mute all"? Also, any settings that can disable attendees from unmuting themselves?

You can solve this by designating presenters and attendees prior to the meeting, or use the "Make everyone an attendee" function during the meeting.

I want all the things Eyad commented on. The meeting options mentioned by Karan are very limited.
Another problem I see is that when we use the Mute All feature, folks on the phone can't unmute themselves easily and end up having to hang up and call back -

Ideally meeting organizer can decide which permissions meeting attendees have access to. Where they can enable/disable features as needed. So the meeting organizer can set the meeting to be all attendees start as muted (and unable to unmute) where the option to unmute can be re-enabled during the QA session or parts of the meeting.
Additionally meeting organizer (and maybe can assign meeting admins?) can unmute individual attendees (for example to unmute a presenter that's not the organizer).
