Microsoft Teams: Muting All The Participants Without Allowing Them To Unmute
- Hi joef1665
Live events are one to many broadcasts. Like a TED Talk or a lecture: you can read more here

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
Best, Chris
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
hey I am a student and we were facing a similar problem.The solution to this is to make the students attendee.We can make them attendee by doing a right click on their name in participants and then make them an attendee.now if you are late due to any reason the children may fight for becoming a presenter and by default the setting is that the new joiners will be presenters. So in order to prevent the fight between students you can make only yourself a presenter. We can do that as after scheduling a meeting there is an option of editing the settings there you will see an option of meeting options on the bottom of the screen.by opening the link of meeting options scroll down and you will see an option of who can present.by clicking the dropdown in front that you will see options like specific people,only me,people in my organisation. Click anyone you want to and it is done.if you selct only me still you can make anyone presenter if you want to.
