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.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Attending a meeting in person and wanting to join the Teams stream to see the presentations close up it is ESSENTIAL to be able to join muted, as otherwise the interference will disturb everyone. GET THAT FIXED - NOW!!!
OMG Microsoft won't fix this issue. I am IT manager, and we will move to different Video Calls platform in early 2023 since missing mute by default is very important for our privacy.
So disappoint due to missing this very basic feature!
Came to this forum looking for a default mute. Apparently it is not available. Does Microsoft realize there could be confidential information leaked or personal information shared accidentally especially with people working from home . Careers have ended when cameras and mics have been on accidentally.
There is a reason Zoom / WebEx are still hot favorites.
Hope MS wakes up - and soon.
Omg, the default mute option is an absolute MUST. Microsoft, wake up!
up-vote. this is a must.
