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.

    This! I was just on a call with approximately 15 others only to discover that talking to myself was overheard when someone agreed with what I said.

    Users should have the option to set a default rather than having to go in each and every time.

    Or waiting in the lobby, looking at something on another screen and dropping an "F" bomb not knowing you had been admitted to the meeting :(. This feature is available on pretty much EVERY conferencing app in existence.

    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.

    +1 for this feature. Ridiculous that this isn't a feature. Grade school level of app design.

    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
