mute audience video and audio
I am organizing some meetings using Teams. How do I set this up so that the invitees outside the organization cannot activate their audio and video and therefore make a mess of the presentation?
- Meeting presenter roles can be used, but it doesn't work with mute / video unfortunately, but it can restrict others from Sharing. Hoping they add mute/unmute to this feature in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeQJ3uAhUEI
Hi,
You can mute all other participants in the meeting with the Mute all button but they can unmute themselves. There is no other setting for this and it will only mute audio, not video.
If you want to present something for many participants and don't want them to talk or share anything during the presentation you could use Live Events in Teams instead.

I was checking this out. But the problem with this is that it doesnt have a method of presenting powerpoint that I can figure out. It seems to only be able to share a window or the whole desktop. This makes it literally impossible to both handle the live events production as well as handle the powerpoint presentation simultaneously. Its a mess.
Correct, you have to share your screen in Live Events.
When you setup Live Events you normally have a minimum or 2-3 persons producing the event.
- The presenter that shares PPT and talks during the meeting (could be multiple presenters)
- The Producer that selects presenter (or camera view)
- Q&A admin, handles questions from audience
