Muting attendees during a video call / meeting
💡 Note: Only the moderator can mute attendees. The moderator is whoever created the meeting; a moderator can promote another attendee to moderator.
Muting one attendee
- Hover over the person's video tile, click the … button at its top right and select Mute. The person is muted immediately; there is no confirmation dialog.
Tip: The same menu also has Mute everyone else, which mutes everyone except this person.
Muting all attendees
- Click the Participants icon in the toolbar at the bottom to open the participants panel, then click Mute all at the bottom of the panel. The toolbar hides after a few seconds; move the mouse to show it again.
- In the Mute everyone? dialog, click Mute to confirm (or Cancel). The dialog also has the toggle Allow non-moderators to unmute themselves, which is switched on by default.
Once muted, you can't unmute an attendee for them, but they can unmute themselves at any time, unless you switched off Allow non-moderators to unmute themselves.
