Hard mute students audio in a meeting (so they cannot unmute themselves)

In the context of the pandemic, Microsoft were asked by teachers to include unmute in March so that we could teach using Teams. The privacy issue can be managed because teachers would be able to mute as well as unmute. It is hard to understand why they are so reluctant. ChristianBergstrom
I've seen message boards about this since March and June. This board here is a wonderful place to vent. It just seems like a technology company with the ability to code their way to a solution just does not want to support teachers of young children and students with disabilities. It is so frustrating to have the same hurdles of student engagement this entire virtual year so far. Let us unmute our students!
