Is there a way of tracking who muted who in microsoft teams?
Italicus If then are not presenters they are attendees. Attendees can speak in the meeting, they can unmute themselves but they can't mute others and they can't share their desktop. Presenters can share desktop and mute others. Presenters can't unmute others, it is only the user that is muted that can unmute themselves.
No, that is not possible to track that. Only presenters can mute others so if you have that problem you should only have a few presenters in a meeting.
LinusCansby Thank you. If I understand correctly, if students are not presenters, they cannot speak in the meeting. And if they are presenters, the teacher (or meeting organizer) can mute them at the beginning of the meeting, but then cannot unmute a student so that he can speak when requested?
We all understand there are settings in Teams meetings: "Presenter and attendee roles"
But in the chat window or somewhere else there should be some kind of public way or reporting method to show who is muting who and who is kicking off who, there has to be a transcribed form of accountability to prevent mischievous behavior, both in the classroom and at the office.

I was actually doing some testing with Teams last week. We found out that in a meeting, anyone can mute anyone else!
I was the Meeting Organizer, and they could even mute me.
I am livered by what just happened now in a session. There was a nasty individual constantly muting me as the presenter ( I don't know how Microsoft designed this as it's absolutely stupid to say the least - why give the audience / attendee's the option to mute a presenter, surely he /she can put up their hand or leave a message in the drop box).
but this was deliberate and spiteful and my Regional Manager has requested that our head of IT investigate this as well as Microsoft as this individual will be taken to task and that of the highest level. I will personally make sure of it !!!
Thank you Linus, so the teacher should be the organizer as well as a presenter and students should be defined as attendees.
Is there a tutorial that explains how to do this? (I am not a teacher, only a parent trying to help teachers).
Italicus - need to vote for Microsoft to change!
