How to disable the possibility for attendees to mute other participants or expell them from meeting
Hi! We currently use microsoft Teams with their school / Teachers to carry on video-lessons during the lockdown period (my children as students and myself as a teacher). Since some children regularly mute other participants whilst they are speaking or expell them from a meeting, I need to know how I can disable this possibility for attendees.
Thank you very much for your help!

You can use presenter and attendee roles

Set all the class to attendees - they won't be able to mute or kick other attendees out
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris

- Hi, I'm a teacher myself and these last weeks I'm getting more and more students kicking each other again, even though they are assigned the role as attendees (I'm the only presenter in the meeting)... Does anyone suffer the same issue, is there a "backdoor" that they could have found now being able again to kick people despite their role as attendees?
EricHeinen It is also happening to us here in Malta (Europe). I am a support teacher coaching teachers to use Teams at the moment and we are getting reports of such things happening. This is serious.

- You can make them attendees which gives them less control

At our school we would need the possibility of the teacher controlling the microphones of the students. As it is now, the students can be muted but they themselves can turn their mics back on.adam deltinger- Yeah! This is how it works unfortunately
