Microsoft Teams is getting gradually popular, and it is becoming one of the most used video conferencing applications. Microsoft is day by day updating it with new features and improvements. Recently Microsoft has introduced a new feature that will let the meeting host disable users from unmuting. It could be very irritating when you need to mute participants over and over, and they keep on unmuting themselves.

When users have the freedom to unmute, it could be a distraction for the meeting since sometimes people don’t even realize, but they accidentally unmute themselves.

If you host meetings regularly using Microsoft Teams, you know how some people repeatedly unmute themselves and confuse everyone. If you are one of those who wish to stop the participants from turning on their microphones, Teams’ upcoming update will bring a smile on your face.

During a meeting, you will be able to block everyone to access the mute or unmute button. You will also be able to stop a particular participant from unmuting. Zoom cloud meetings, the world’s most popular video conferencing tool, also has a feature to disallow participants from unmuting.

If a particular participant always talks too much in your meetings, you will be able to block them from using the unmute option in the Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Teams gets an upgrade in participants audio permission

The forthcoming update for Microsoft Teams will give the hosts more access to their participants’ audio controls. This will let them allow and disallow their meeting members to speak. If a host wants, they can quickly mute everyone within a single click.

Moreover, when the host mutes participants in a meeting, the participants will have to grant permission from the host before unmuting. This is one of the most significant improvements in this video meeting service up till now.

Benefits of preventing users from unmute

 When the meeting host can prevent their participants from unmuting their microphone, they can prevent users from unnecessarily ruining the productive atmosphere of the meeting. This will also stop the unintentionally unmuting microphone scenario. Your sessions will be far more targeted, balanced, and profound. The speaker will be able to speak far more effectively when everyone is silent. This will improve the quality of meetings you hold. That is why Microsoft is releasing this feature for its popular tool. We hope you will love it.

Conclusion

If you hold meetings using Microsoft Teams, this is good news for you as you will be getting more control over your sessions. We hope you have found this information helpful, and thank you for coming here.
