Mute attendees Permanently

Organizers of GotoMeeting do not have the ability to enact a mute override to mute all attendees. Currently, attendees can unmute themselves after being muted by the organizer. The mute fight then begins and is a hinderance to the organizer and the party that pays for the service. An organizer mute override control is requested and is a substantial flaw in the current system. The organizer(s) need to have full mute control when desired and at times during the meeting when there is to be one single presenter during a period of time. Many thanks.

Thanks, I'll have a look into GoToWebinar then. 

innovaesoftware  I'm sorry for the confusion.  It is every Attendee's option to mute or unmute their own lines so that Organizers do not have to manage each one individually. 

Azeem If you want to permanently mute all participantes, you can cycle into this mode via your telephone keypad with the *5 command:  https://support.logmeininc.com/gotomeeting/help/manage-phone-audio-via-keypad-commands-g2m050045

Hi, is there a way to permanently disable the attendees' audio in a meeting? We have up to 50 attendees and some of them keep reenabling their microphones, even after we mute them. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info.

I understand the necessity to keep the settings under the control of the presenters.  What I'm asking is if there is any way, or could be any way, for me on my end to selectively mute an attendee who has their mic open.

If this isn't currently possible in the platform, could this be forwarded to the development team to be added as a feature? I'm sure that would be pretty easy, and I can guarantee you that it is something wanted by a lot of people.  Thanks!

Hi BigE1 ,

I apologize for the echo, as it can disrupt a broadcast completely.

The Muting controls, and Attendee management are strictly for the GoToMeeting Organizers to handle, for security reasons.  If you are helping to manage a live meeting, you can ask the scheduling Organizer to make you a Co-Organizer in session for the purpose of muting individual Attendees, but otherwise this role is restricted to moderators only.

I attend a daily meeting/chat room. There is always one attendee who refuses to mute his microphone and causes all sorts of background noise. The moderators won't mute anyone unless specifically requested.

Is there any option for ME to mute another attendee so that I do not hear them?

IF NOT, WHY NOT??????

Thanks

Hi nripley,

With GoToMeeting, attendees have the ability to unmute themselves. If you have a disruptive attendee that refuses to stay muted you can dismis them from the meeting.

GoToWebinar attendees join muted by default and can only be unmuted by the organizer.

How do I mute all attendees and not allow them to un mute during the presentation.  Thanks, Nancy
