Only the presenter can speak, but attendees can Q&A.
You would need A3/A5 licencing to set it up. Pros - no noise, no interruptions, can have large amounts of attendees. Downside, less interaction, harder to setup. In a classroom format I would go with better policing rather than a Live event - as a former secondary school teacher I would have an assistant/LSA to be muting anyone whilst I am talking. That's how Microsoft do it today whilst they develop the appropriate features
Hope that answers your question

Right now my students in Teams are able to mute each other and even mute me. Is there a function to turn off the abilities for students to mute each other? I can see this as a really big problem in the future. Or if it notified me who was trying to mute someone else, I could deal with it that way. But as it is right now, I have some crafty students muting people who are speaking and it is turning into a "who done it?" scenario. ChrisHoardMVP
In einer meiner Klassen ist das auch ein riesen Problem. Ich fände es auch sehr sinnvoll, wenn die Lehrperson eine Art Logbuch zur Hand hätte, in dem sie nachlesen kann, wer wen stumm geschalten hat. Das Logbuch wäre auch sinnvoll für eine Anwesenheitskontrolle.
