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.

    It is ridiculous that this isn't done yet. As others have said, this is the link to make it an official feedback item:

    I would assume to prevent robo-spamming of the vote

    For me, just the opposite. I hate joining a meeting and having both my mic muted and my audio off.

    Clearly, we need to be able to set options that work for us - Teams gives us none of this.

    It is indeed an awful tool.

    Clearly, everyone needs to be able to set their own default behavior with respect to being muted (both for mic and headset).

    I find Teams to be so frustrating in this regard. I join a meeting and not only is my mic muted, but my headset is also "muted."

    Perhaps I can understand muting the microphone, but cutting off the audio is disruptive.

    Teams seems such a long way from being a tool for communicating with people. It's slow and rife with functionality that doesn't seem to have been tested by people who are actually trying to use it.
