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...
Just implement this.
We have a ducking Teamspeak (sic!) server running on premise to hold voice meetings because it is unbearable for the people sitting in one office.
Teamspeak figured out the tech in 2002, I guess you can, too.
I am actually curious, are you mixing the sound in the cloud and just sending the mixed stream to everyone or why is this so hard to implement? It's been years ffs.

Yes, reportedly this is exactly what's happening. All audio streams get mixed together into one which is distributed to every participant. Presumably this helps conserve bandwidth or improves reliability, but at the cost of usability in cases like this.AdamZovits ok, then wouldn't a compromise be cool?
<= 10 people per call: mixing client side;
>10: mixing server side;
Maybe there's even a sweet spot where the removal of extra calculation server side is worth adding the bandwidth.
Also, Microsoft could make the mixing client side optional - with its opt-in buried in some sub menu - then only people annoyed by it will use it and it'll hopefully barely scratch the performance...- Of course it would be cool, but as long as there are so few people (275 as I write this) interested in such a solution, one should not get their hopes up. It'd be better to look for alternative solutions (as offered in this thread) or drum up more support for https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/972be416-4fbe-ed11-83ff-000d3a1f8608
