Unmute participants as the meeting organizer.

HI ALL,   When in a group meeting the organizer can mute the attendees. Is it also possible for the organizer to unmute an attendee?   Thanks for the help Louis De Clercq

ChristianBergstrom Please explain further.  I can see in the settings that I can allow attendees to unmute.  But as a teacher of students with multiple disabilities I need to be able to unmute those who are physically incapable.

Thank you! dietcokecrazy Agree! I do not know why Microsoft Teams still has not made this update. Forums on this site have been asking for presenters to unmute since June of last year. I teach preschool and it is a huge hurdle for my students to have to continually unmute themselves.
