To let everyone listen to a participant in the group, or if you want to speak during a meeting, you may need a way to mute people while having conference calls with your team. Luckily for you, major collaboration tools, including Google Meet, let you mute other people’s microphones during a call.

But as the discussion progresses, you may want to mute the other person to hear their input and let them collaborate on the project. The following post will help you mute a participant in Google Meet.

As of this writing, that is not the case. Google does not offer a way to mute a participant in Google Meet after you have muted that person.

Google says that for privacy reasons, you can’t unmute another person on Google Meet. This makes sense, because once you’re muted as a participant, you don’t want other meeting participants to hear you until you give them permission. This way, the other party can’t unmute your microphone remotely without your permission.
