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.

Hi! This is Nicolle an Independent advisor.
Usually, before you join a meeting in teams there should be a window that will appear on your screen for an option if you are mute or unmute before you click the "join" button.
You can find also find useful answers in regards to that:
Before you add another emoji... Please allow us to set the configuration of the microphone as a setting. This is vastly more important than any emoji...
+1 for me, as I have a tendency of Joining the meeting quickly and forgetting to mute. It doesn't make total sense that voice starts 'open' rather than 'closed'. As an example, if cybersecurity software failed 'open', we would all be in a ton of trouble.
Mikey, so well said, thank you.
Everyone, it would be great if we could make Mikey's answer the most upvoted post in MS history (or, anyway, really high). Please respond "Yes" to "Was this reply helpful?" and then rate it five stars.

Same complain. Just adding to the bulk.
I don't even have the msft teams application. When I join a teams meeting is because someone else invited me, and therefore I join right on time and from web.
The camera is evident. It's easy to notice your camera is on. Any other things in the form require to be read, which puts the load on the user.
* In basic usability terms (I am not an expert by any means): it demands a greater cognitive load from the user to have to read the whole form every time they join.
* Entering muted by default but making the mute evident (say a catchy button even though it breaks the design a bit), DEFINITELY requires less from the user. Even if the user doesn't already know she's muted, a catchy button will let them know.
In my specific use case, there's an extra load "I will have to remember" that I need to read the form the next time someone invites me to a teams.com meeting, instead of just joining.
