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...
Think that you should think about this in the reverse. Rather than muting get a feature that is "do not play back sound from this participant" against your user so it is the receiving end of the stream rather than the sending side being muted
nick2165Exactly. However all members of a Teams chat get the same audio mixed at the server and streamed to everyone. We don't get individual audio streams from each participant so the basic stuff like muting a specific user so it is muted for everyone is possible, but any further customisation is not.
In order to mute specific users just for you, Teams would have to mix an audio stream specifically for you. Nice and easy: not a bandwidth problem, but Teams doesn't work like that.
Obviously, what we'd like Teams to do is to work 'like that'.That doesn't make sense to me. If every member of a Teams chat received the same audio, I would hear my own echo. I don't.
I think you might be forgetting a little thing called a sound wave that travels across the room independently of microsoft.
- Yeah, that is what we are all talking about, only muting the user to yourself, not muting it at the sender end, that wouldnt make sense.
