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.

For me, just the opposite. I hate joining a meeting and having both my mic muted and my audio off.
Clearly, we need to be able to set options that work for us - Teams gives us none of this.
It is indeed an awful tool.
2023 and still we have no general setting that sets "always enter meetings on mute"?

Just my two cents, I 100% agree this needs to be on the list of features. I am a new developer at a company that uses Teams and I used Teams back in school, so not completely unfamiliar. In previous companies I have used Slack, Google Meet and Zoom and all of them have an option to set my mic and video to disabled on join by default WITHOUT having to set this every time I enter a room. I have arrived to a couple of meetings early since starting and not realized that until the room hits 5+ everyone is unmuted. I'm ticking off my new co-workers here! There needs to be an update to fix this MS
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....
