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.

Yes, I totally agree. Every week I've got DM during call that I'm not muted and people hear my background noise. Especially I'm auto muted when there are more meeting participants. I don't see any reason why people wouldn't be auto-muted every time they join any meeting.
+1 for this. I hate finding out after "talking to myself" for 5 minutes that I have infact been talking to the room...
Still this is not the same as default setting -> if there are many participants it defaults you to mute, but in case there are just few participants it by default sets to "not muted". Which may be inconvinient for some users. I would prefer to always be muted when joining. There is no such option at the moment....
Hi! This is Nicolle an Independent advisor.
Usually, before you join a meeting in teams there should be a window that will appear on your screen for an option if you are mute or unmute before you click the "join" button.
