HELP! I teach kindergarten..
Hi! Teams newbie here! We will be using Teams this upcoming school year for when we have a weather related day. The biggest thing that scares me is that they have access on the bottom part of their iPads it has the section where - video, mute/unmute/, speaker icons.
Is there a way to remove the speaker icon for attendees, so students cant mute the presenter?
Is there a way to change in the settings or somewhere to turn off access for attendee's to not have access to change their background effect?
Thank you for any help!

The admins and the meeting organizer can control these settings. For your scenario, it's likely more appropriate to have such restrictions centrally configured by your IT staff, so talk to them. As the meeting organizer, you can also control some of these settings, via the Meeting options dialog. For example, this article guides you over how to disable mic and camera access for attendees: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/manage-attendee-audio-and-video-permissions-in-microsoft-teams-meetings-f9db15e1-f46f-46da-95c6-34f9f39e671a
In the same dialog, you will find some additional settings that might be relevant to your scenario, such as disabling the chat and adjusting the meeting roles (for the mute issue).
