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.
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

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.
