Is Microsoft planning to add "Meeting Options" feature similar to what we had in SFB to force mute on entry? This is becoming a major headache for large meetings with over 100s of remote participants. One of the main problems is that anyone has the ability "Mute All" at any time which it mutes the main speaker line as well.

Yup, that and similar issues have been discussed and acknowledged by Microsoft. Controls are coming, but we cannot share any timeframes yet.

Hi @Vasil Michev,
I see you replied in August 2019. Is there any progress?
There is a "Mute All" button, but students are able to unmute themselves. They are also able to mute the teacher which does not make sense why MS Team gives that kind of ability to participant other than the organizer. Teachers are struggling now.
These are the must and Microsoft should include them asap if they want to beat Google Classroom;
1 - The teacher/organizer should be the only one to manage the entire session.
2 - Students shouldn't be able to unmute themselves
3 - The student shouldn't have the ability to mute the teacher

@mshariar has a resolution been created for the automatic mute all for teams meetings? I see this post was in 2019 so I am hoping microsoft has addressed this already and I just don't know how to automatically mute all upon entry.

@Vasil Michev is this mute all upon entry feature available in Teams yet?

The Hard Mute option is showing in the Teams Admin Centre, but is not currently showing in the Teams Meeting options - which means it should be here very soon
