Is there a way of tracking who muted who in microsoft teams?
- Mar 22, 2020
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.
I am also a parent. The teacher is having terrible problems using this teams software.
Can this software be used to allow teaching and responses from students without other children continually interfering with the lesson by abusively using the mute button?
Surely the teacher can have authority over who can mute another child???? *while* still be able to interact at her will when she wants with the children?
Thanks

Hi Andrew,
Well I understood the teacher can "control" the class during the video conference (I think the problems stopped in the video classes of my children - they are now finishing their second week of Easter holidays, so I did not get recent feedback on Teams conference); th eteacher should add the students as attendees (as such students can unmute their own mic and speak), not presenters (the teacher is the presenter, he/she can mute students but cannot unmute them).
Did the teacher set up the meeting like this?

Not sure how the teacher has set up the system but if the children are only attendees can they present their work so the teacher can check it?

Hi,
A attendee can't share content, but if a student want to share content in a meeting the teacher (presenter) can make them presenter when then are going to share and then make them an attendee when they are done.

Thanks. I will suggest that to the teacher.
However what is required is a super user called teacher or moderator rather than only presenters or attendees.
It is a bit crazy making to use a system not designed for teaching children
