'''Manage attendee audio permissions in Teams meetings'''

Do you organize large meetings or present material in them? To avoid random noise and distractions that can quickly disrupt the proceedings, you can mute the mics of all attendees and prevent them from unmuting. Then, when someone "raises their hand" to speak, you can allow them to unmute.

'''Prevent unmuting'''

'''Before the meeting'''

After scheduling the meeting and sending out the invites, the meeting organizer can turn off the mics so that attendees can't unmute themselves during the meeting. All attendees (but not presenters) will be muted when they join the meeting.

1. Go to '''Calendar''' and double-click the meeting.

2. Select '''Meeting options''' near the top of the screen.

Attendee mics will appear dimmed.

Alternatively, you can mute all the mics without preventing unmuting by selecting '''Mute all participants''' under '''Participants'''.

* Allow unmuting
* Point to a raised hand, select '''More options''' <nowiki>'''</nowiki> , and then select '''Allow to unmute'''.
