Microsoft Teams: Muting All The Participants Without Allowing Them To Unmute
- Hi joef1665
Live events are one to many broadcasts. Like a TED Talk or a lecture: you can read more here

Only the presenter can speak, but attendees can Q&A.
You would need A3/A5 licencing to set it up. Pros - no noise, no interruptions, can have large amounts of attendees. Downside, less interaction, harder to setup. In a classroom format I would go with better policing rather than a Live event - as a former secondary school teacher I would have an assistant/LSA to be muting anyone whilst I am talking. That's how Microsoft do it today whilst they develop the appropriate features
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris
Dear Help,
I am running a class and one student is muting other students on and off and also me at times. How can I stop this?
I’ve been told of a solution. You schedule the meeting in the Teams calendar then click on the meeting in the calendar. Go to “meeting options”. This will take you to an online website. Then on the “who can present” drop down menu, change it to “only me”. This will take away all muting capabilities. It also takes away screen sharing though but there are ways to make individual students into presenters. Remember to cancel the meeting in the calendar after you are done with video otherwise students can rejoin the video without you.
we have users complain about meetings without anyone - since they came later than the stablished hour (user mistake/problem).
The main question is: If the meeting had a stablished hour to start and to end, why user are able to enter later??? Make no sense!!!
Hi!
I agree, this is a big issue that needs to get resolved. The temporary solution I found is to cancel the meeting afterwards and that way they can't rejoin the meeting. Here is what I do:
1) Schedule the meeting in the calendar
2) Hold the meeting until it's finished
3) Go back to the meeting on the calendar and cancel it
**It sends a message to all students saying that the meeting is canceled which is confusing but they will get used to the process if you explain it to them.
Hi DylanElemTeacher,
regarding my post about users to be able to enter again to an old meeting, I think that will be addressed by the Roadmap ID 66921.

"We are making changes to how Teams meetings and join links are accessible for meeting organizers who have had their scheduling capabilities revoked. Today, Teams meeting URLs can be accessed before, during, and after the scheduled meeting time, even if the scheduling permission for the meeting organizer has been revoked after the meeting was created.
To implement this change, we are adjusting the behavior of some settings in csTeamsMeetingPolicy to give additional control to the Tenant Admins. Tenant admins can now control and define the expiration of meetings created and scheduled by their users.
This change does not impact any scheduled meetings for organizers who continue to have the ability to schedule Teams meetings (as defined by Meeting Policy). You can find additional details on this change below.What does it mean to expire meeting join coordinates?
Once a meeting has been expired, the meeting can no longer be joined, whether through the meeting join link and/or Audio Conferencing—attempting to join the meeting will result in a failure. Any related conversations, files, whiteboards related to the meeting are preserved and unaffected, and can still be accessed. This includes channel meetings (both scheduled and meet now), scheduled meetings, and private meet now meetings."
I would like to suggest that everyone copy this URL and post on their posts about Teams on Twitter (https://twitter.com/MicrosoftTeams).
We have business customers asking about that.
