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.

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.

Carolyn Gaither - Unfortunately in it's default setting Teams meeting is a bit of a bully's charter in a school environment. A video below from a director at Microsoft gives the easy route to settings up the meeting so only the teacher (as presenter) can mute others (attendees).
As a side note I think it does show a big gap in MS real world experience in education and the behaviour therein.
I hope this helps

wsurfa and 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.
If you agree please Vote:

Great video, thanks!
I had pretty much come to the same conclusion about muting others through testing. My environment is a business, not education, but I used to teach and can see major issues with this as the students start playing around.
