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.

    Incredible that people have been asking for this feature for years, and competing software offers it, but Microsoft won't even respond to threads about it, much less add the feature.

    Agreed, Microsoft already made their money and will likely continue so regardless of this issue. I'll be legit shocked if Microsoft fixes this.

    I had not considered the push to talk option. In my opinion, that would be the ideal option for all participants except for a presenter that would speak for the majority of the meeting, then add a toggle to leave mic on. Brilliant.

    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.
