Can you mute by default whenever you enter a TEAMS meeting? I know this option is available in WebEx, but can't seem to find it in the settings in TEAMS.

    Noticed a recent update----there are now more emojis?.....

    Yet this very, very, very fundamental feature still sits in the backlog.

    Coming up on 2.5 years since this was opened, 597 people marked as having the same question, 85 replies....I'm going to ask something basic here cause MS makes me feel like I'm losing my mind:

    They are aware this request has been made correct?

    I'm gonna lose it if I see more 'fluff' updates without getting this one through....

    I really need this feature. I use Teams all day long for work. I would like to always enter a new call on mute.

    Matthew Painter, if you find out how he is muted by default, I would love the solution.

    I came here because I have a user complaining of the opposite,
    "Microphone is muted by default when joining Teams meeting or Teams call. Unable to change the setting."

    Now to work out how he did it and report back haha

    Nicolle,

    The option/window is NOT available when the organizer has the "Lobby" functionality turned on nor are you notified you have been admitted to the meeting which I recently learned the hard way :(. There needs to be a default setting as I would much rather be talking on mute for 5 minutes than be heard dropping an expletive regarding an issue unrelated to my current call because I was trying to multi-task.
