It is not not about a hard mute, teachers need to be able unmute and mute their students. ChristianBergstrom
I do not know why this is taking so long. I have tweeted, posted here, sent emails, and is increasingly frustrating to have Microsoft Teams not be there to support teachers.
williamkuehnle Yeah, I get that. Perhaps it's a privacy thing. That the organizer and presenter shouldn't be able to "hard unmute" the other parts mic. It's a bit scary when you think about it that way isn't it? But can't say because I don't know. Maybe another member with more knowledge will reply.
ChristianBergstrom, I can understand that. The problem is there is always those who abuse what is given. If I mute myself because there is a commotion of some type at my house I wouldn't want to have someone else be able to unmute me. I have muted individuals when I could here conversations that weren't appropriate.
But as a professional, using in it the context of my job, I have students with physically disabilities who cannot unmute themselves even if they wanted. This makes teaching even more difficult in the virtual setting.
