Is there a way of tracking who muted who in microsoft teams?
Title.

Italicus If then are not presenters they are attendees. Attendees can speak in the meeting, they can unmute themselves but they can't mute others and they can't share their desktop. Presenters can share desktop and mute others. Presenters can't unmute others, it is only the user that is muted that can unmute themselves.

No, that is not possible to track that. Only presenters can mute others so if you have that problem you should only have a few presenters in a meeting.
- Qpajama09hotmailcomMar 25, 2021Copper ContributorMy child's teacher had bad connection which forced her to reboot her laptop. In addition to logging into teams and upon logging in she noticed above it states "someone muted you". She had everyone logout of teams and created a new group invite series and it still showed someone has muted her. How do u fix?

chris465 I would recommend just to have a few presenters in a meeting, specially if you got problems that someone mutes others.

We all understand there are settings in Teams meetings: "Presenter and attendee roles"
But in the chat window or somewhere else there should be some kind of public way or reporting method to show who is muting who and who is kicking off who, there has to be a transcribed form of accountability to prevent mischievous behavior, both in the classroom and at the office.

LinusCansby I sometimes have co-speakers in my virtual classroom. We only have the option to share presentation with my organisation, not with a specific person. This means that I have to share the presentation with my students! I teach in high school, this is NOT good. I was muted, students were kicked out. And I read the blog, there is no way to know who did that. Can the ability to have shared presentation with specific persons be changed?

mclambert When you schedule your meeting you should be able to set who can be a presenter, you can also change this during the meeting from meeting options.
For a school I would recommend that you change the meeting policy so only the organiser of the meeting (you) are a presenter in the meeting. You can during the meeting promote others to be a presenter.

Yes, when the organiser of the meeting mutes the presenter, then presenter see that owner or organizer is muted, the message comes on the screen in a pop up that: .......muted you. LinusCansby

please show me how to check this as an individual has been sabotaging my presentations
- ItalicusMar 21, 2020Copper Contributor
LinusCansby Thank you. If I understand correctly, if students are not presenters, they cannot speak in the meeting. And if they are presenters, the teacher (or meeting organizer) can mute them at the beginning of the meeting, but then cannot unmute a student so that he can speak when requested?

I was actually doing some testing with Teams last week. We found out that in a meeting, anyone can mute anyone else!
I was the Meeting Organizer, and they could even mute me.
