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 am livered by what just happened now in a session. There was a nasty individual constantly muting me as the presenter ( I don't know how Microsoft designed this as it's absolutely stupid to say the least - why give the audience / attendee's the option to mute a presenter, surely he /she can put up their hand or leave a message in the drop box).
but this was deliberate and spiteful and my Regional Manager has requested that our head of IT investigate this as well as Microsoft as this individual will be taken to task and that of the highest level. I will personally make sure of it !!!

I totally symphatize with you. It's almost end of 2023 and this is still not fixed. I used the right term:
THIS.NEEDS.FIXING.
We are using Teams as means to communicate at the job and we all need presenter roles to be ready to share anything - screen or file. This also means that anyone can mute anybody, and somebody has been muting people when they talk or end speaking (indicated by the pop-up).
For the love of god, why hasn't Microsoft address this? Why cannot we at least be able to see who from presenters was the muting person?
Either split the powers of presenting and muting/kicking people out or include in chat system messages showing who is doing what. There are already messages that someone joined or left, why can't you put in messages showing who is using or abusing their presenter rights?
Seriously, this is making me wish I'd change companies.
