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 the sound from the person and the sound through the teams interface. In these cases, I would like to mute the person only for me since I am sitting near and can hear the person fine without headphones. Right now I need to takeoff headphones when the person is talking and putting it back as the person finishes talking.

- If you are in a community space, the best thing is to wear headsets, so that you don't bother your neighbors or go to a conference room where you can both join the call together.
Even with headsets, if some users are remote and others are sitting a few feet from you, you'll hear them both in person AND through your headset, which is highly unsatisfactory. Other voice chat programs figured this out years ago.
- even if wearing headsets, the non electronic audio and subsequent electronic audio some milliseconds later is wildly annoying and distracting
headphones, as a hardware solution, is not what OP asked for, they clearly asked for software solution
