Can admin set the default role of meeting participants to attendee instead of presenter?
Our school is working hard to get MS Teams ready to help us switch to long distance education when our school closes due to the coronacrises. We are testing Team meetings as a way to start online cla...
Hi,
Only the meeting organizer can set who should be a presenter or not per meeting. There is no setting for this from admin center or via policies.
There is a setting for who should be able to bypass the lobby "Automatically admit people", but you can only set it to Everyone, People in your Organization or People in your Organization and federated organizations. So you can't set it for different groups in your organization.

Hi, thanks but I hope you are not right... We have exactly the same problem as dahgijsbers at our school. To be a bit more specific:
We want to use Microsoft Teams Meetings as a replacement for lessons. We tested things out a bit with some of our students, and setting up a meeting in outlook works fine, the students can join. But our problem is: all our students automatically gain presenter rights and can take over the microphone, mute other users et cetera.
Right now, the teacher can edit the Meeting preferences of a Meeting, and change the setting of the "Who can present?" setting. By default, this setting is set to "Everyone" and we only want to change this setting to "Just me" by default. So, as a result, teachers don't have to do this manually everytime they create a new meeting.
Teachers create a meeting by adding a class, and the class is a dynamic distribution list with all the student in it.
I still hope it's possible to set this up in Teams Admin Panel or PowerShell? Thanks in advance.
- Unfortunately there is no powershell or TAC policy setting for this. The only setting you can change is per meeting and that you change in meeting options.
