Can admin set the default role of meeting participants to attendee instead of presenter?
An feature update is coming so you can set a policy with "who can present" to something else than Everyone. Rollout will begin in the first week of May.

LinusCansby Where can we find the Powershell directions for doing this and, if it is set, will organizers of meetings still be able to change an attendee to a presenter during a meeting?
I was able to execute the command:
Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity Global -DesignatedPresenterRoleMode "OrganizerOnlyUserOverride"
But with Get-CSTeamsMeetingPolicy it still shows the 'everyone' value. I think we have to wait for a while.
I executed the powershell command and when I use Get-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy I can see that the policy has been set correctly. But the default option for "who can present?" in meetings options is still "Everyone". Does this setting really work?
molislaegers LinusCansby I was able to run Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity "Policy Name" -DesignatedPresenterRoleMode OrganizerOnlyUserOverride and then when I ran Get-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity "Policy Name" the designatedPresentRoleMode was updated. I did have a question as to whether this needed to be run for the students' policy or the teachers' policy or both. When I ran this last week I received a permission denied error which I did not get today. I'll assume because of that the PowerShell command is working now.
Hi,
I don't think this been released yet, but you can see the value DesignatedPresenterRoleMode if you check with Get-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy. But you might get a error if you try to set another value with Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy, since this update is not released yet.

Is that true that I could only access this parameter by powershell, in other words, I cannot get this option in admin console without using powershell?
