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

Thank you Linus, so the teacher should be the organizer as well as a presenter and students should be defined as attendees.
Is there a tutorial that explains how to do this? (I am not a teacher, only a parent trying to help teachers).
Italicus - need to vote for Microsoft to change!
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.
If you agree please Vote:
I am also a parent. The teacher is having terrible problems using this teams software.
Can this software be used to allow teaching and responses from students without other children continually interfering with the lesson by abusively using the mute button?
Surely the teacher can have authority over who can mute another child???? *while* still be able to interact at her will when she wants with the children?
Thanks

Aactually for everything courses or there, training or there, if you study then this Team will be one of the best resources,Andrew_Judd ,

authorsunilsir The problem identified applies to use of Teams during the corona crisis. Presenters in this case are children and the organiser is the teacher. Teams has no ability to monitor who is misusing the mute to prevent the teacher or another child from talking.
I will no longer be following this thread now our children are back in regular school
Thanks
Hi Andrew,
Well I understood the teacher can "control" the class during the video conference (I think the problems stopped in the video classes of my children - they are now finishing their second week of Easter holidays, so I did not get recent feedback on Teams conference); th eteacher should add the students as attendees (as such students can unmute their own mic and speak), not presenters (the teacher is the presenter, he/she can mute students but cannot unmute them).
Did the teacher set up the meeting like this?
Not sure how the teacher has set up the system but if the children are only attendees can they present their work so the teacher can check it?
- Yes, that is correct.
You change this setting from Meeting Options, I wrote about it here:

You can also change Meeting Options when scheduling meetings using the Teams calendar.
