Allow muting a person only for me
Sometimes I am in a meeting where one of the persons in the meeting is actually near me in the world outside the screen. In this case the sound is a bit maddening since there is a small delay between...
Created an account just to concur with this. I actually kept muting my co-worker who thought he was having an hardware issue because I thought it was obvious in a modern group call program that muting a person i just for the person who mutes. (If anything, I can't imagine many use cases for the currently implemented call-wide mute.)
We have hybrid meetings where some are connecting remotely and others are in the same room talking into a room mic. The people working locally are having a face-to-face meeting and remote workers can chime in through the call. If I could mute the room mic, I could listen the remote workers through my earbuds and local workers regularly in the room.
The current solution in our case has been broadcasting the call sound through one computer's speakers and using a room mic to record everyone in the room (while the rest of people who are in the meeting locally mute themselves), which has worked decently enough, but I suspect it's causing some feedback for the remote workers when the room mic picks up the speakers. It would be nice to hear the remote workers through earbuds though, especially when a larger meeting is happening.

- "Created an account just to concur with this." Same!
Concurring here does little, instead visit https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/6259eda6-272e-ec11-b6e6-00224827b493?q=mute+individual+people and vote there.
the feedback link doesn't work for me, it logs me in then it tells me "https://i.imgur.com/wwYBHSR.png"
I cannot believe Microsoft needs three pages of arguments in this thread and still not read it nor understand why this feature is screaming obviously basic /facepalm
I will politely decline all Microsoft Teams invitations at work because of this. Jitsi Meet works just fine in desktops, iOS and Androids. No profiling, tracking and signups.
