Mute or unmute a specific participant
As a leader or co-presenter, you can mute or unmute participants in a session. This helps to avoid accidental background noise and distractions during the session. All participants can also mute or unmute themselves, unless the leader has manually deactivated their microphone.
- In the Attendees panel, right-click the name of a participant whose audio
you want to control. The context menu appears.
- Click Control audio. The audio control options appear.
