MS Teams – How to mute EVERYONE at once
While Teams can accommodate up to 5,000 members in a single team, there may be a situation where you can’t listen to everyone in the group or want to speak yourself. Microsoft has a handy tool in Teams that can help you mute people when you’re on conference calls with your team.
Yes, you can mute all participants in a Teams meeting directly from the call screen. Teams will display a Mute All option after a Teams meeting has been led by three or more participants. Additionally, for large meetings with more than 5 participants, everyone in the meeting will be muted to avoid confusion about who is speaking and thus reduce noise.
Additionally, you can also mute individual meeting participants directly from the meeting list to reduce background noise.
