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.

    Adding this here, in addition to the official request page:

    It's 2024, Microsoft. Your new year's resolution should be to be AS good as Zoom. Push to talk (without having to enable developer options, scripts, and other ridiculous hacks) as well as mute on join should be at the top of your list. That is... if you even HOPE to compete with Zoom.

    I have a hard time believing this functionality still is not available in 2024. Just take the features in Slack and Zoom and add them to Teams, then everyone on my team would be happy and excited to use Teams. Instead, we use Teams because IT tells us, not because we chose it.

    I agree this functionality is very important and privacy related. Microsoft should implement this to respect people's privacy.

    Can someone on MSFT team have the decency to look at this? It's just a checkbox, how hard can it be?

    Yet another example that Microsoft doesn't give a damn about its user base. This is a simple option they can add yet years later still nothing. Should one of the users actually find a way to make it default to muted, it's a sure bet that Microsoft will try to find a way to prevent it from happening just as they did with windows 11 and forcing users to create a Microsoft Account in order to install it. This is why I no longer use Microsoft products on my personal system.
