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.

2022-03-07T14:57:34+00:00 We use both Zoom and Teams in our environment. In Zoom, they make it easy - there's an option in settings for "Mute my microphone when joining a meeting". Such a simple, and useful setting. This seems so very basic - Microsoft, take note. You'll start losing business unless you implement this function as it is very important in our business as well. Please fix this....

This thread is discovered 1-2 times a week and that is only counting the people who take the time to leave a comment. I wonder how many more view-only before navigating away.
Does MS read these comments? I struggle to think of a more important, basic function in this current WFH climate.

2022-02-25T17:33:27+00:00 With all the remote work going on, my organization has multiple meetings a week with over 100 people in it. It happens quite frequently that someone doesn't notice their mic is not on mute. If you're in a hurry to get into the meeting and you don't give teams a second to check how many people are in the meeting, it's possible to join without it muting the mic for you. That happened to me this morning and I came looking for this exact thing.
If you had asked me yesterday if it was possible to have your mic muted by default, I would have said, "yes, 100% possible." Really shocked to find that it's not something you can set by default. I rely heavily on that setting in other apps for work.

More than once I've received a call in Teams and clicked the red button to answer. The red button just stands out, and is the first thing I click. I think the answer button is a pale blue, or maybe even just gray. I would love it if the answer button was green.
Also, I came here hoping auto mute would occur no matter how few people are in the meeting. Seems silly that by default it doesn't just mute you when you join a meeting, no matter how many people are in the meeting.
