We need to prevent participants from muting and removing each other
This is not practical. We need a quick settings menu on the app. Unfortunately my school is a Portuguese Public School and must use Teams. I also use Zoom on another job and it's much, much better. Microsoft Teams needs huge improvements, it's not solid enough now. For instance, assignments are always failing...

Hi to anyone following this thread!
There is now the ability as of a few days ago to manage the "Who Can Present?" role via a powershell cmdlet.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/microsoftteams/meeting-policies-in-teams?WT.mc_id=TeamsAdminCenterCSHThis resolved the issue for our Org and instantly stopped a headache! well done MS Teams! 😄
Meeting policy settings - Designated presenter role mode
This is a per-user policy. This setting lets you change the default value of the Who can present? setting in Meeting options in the Teams client. This policy setting affects all meetings, including Meet Now meetings.
The Who can present? setting lets meeting organizers choose who can be presenters in a meeting. To learn more, see https://support.microsoft.com/article/change-participant-settings-for-a-teams-meeting-53261366-dbd5-45f9-aae9-a70e6354f88e and https://support.microsoft.com/article/roles-in-a-teams-meeting-c16fa7d0-1666-4dde-8686-0a0bfe16e019.
Currently, you can only use PowerShell to configure this policy setting. You can edit an existing Teams meeting policy by using the https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/skype/set-csteamsmeetingpolicy cmdlet. Or, create a new Teams meeting policy by using the https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/skype/new-csteamsmeetingpolicy cmdlet and assign it to users.
To specify the default value of the Who can present? setting in Teams, set the DesignatedPresenterRoleMode parameter to one of the following:
- EveryoneUserOverride: All meeting participants can be presenters. This is the default value. This parameter corresponds to the Everyone setting in Teams.
- EveryoneInCompanyUserOverride: Authenticated users in the organization, including guest users, can be presenters. This parameter corresponds to the People in my organization setting in Teams.
- EveryoneInSameAndFederatedCompanyUserOverride: Authenticated users in the organization, including guest users and users from federated organizations, can be presenters. This parameter corresponds to the People in my organization and trusted organizations setting in Teams.
- OrganizerOnlyUserOverride: Only the meeting organizer can be a presenter and all meeting participants are designated as attendees. This parameter corresponds to the Only me setting in Teams.

- f1449May 22, 2020Copper ContributorSuddenly I was transported back to 1991, when I was using MS-DOS Do you really think that's a solution?! It's OK for you and me, but 99.99% of people using Teams don't know what PowerShell is. We just need a icon on that floating bar leading to simple settings.

f1449 You have the option of managing the meeting policies in the Microsoft Teams admin center or by using PowerShell.
