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.

    Looks like this STILL isn't an option -- one and a half years later! Thought I read somewhere that Microsoft was serious about competing in this space. Guess not.

    Good suggestion for a workaround, but not practical for normal/regular use. If the solo presenter is the only one with initial "mic on" power, it can easily be overlooked. It also prevents others from talking in the meeting prior to presenter arrival or if presenter is OOO. Default setting should just be to mute, or at least have that option in the configuration settings.

    Looks like this very much needed feature is given a miss in Microsoft Team.

    Yes, I too need to auto-mute when joining all meetings, just like I have set in my preferences in Zoom.

    Agreed. Default should be voice and camera off. I almost spoke to an office guest during a Teams meeting without realizing the mic was live. I wonder how many folks have said something not meant for the Teams meeting group in error.
