    Hi KBbuffalo welcome to the GoTo Community. 

     

    Sorry to hear about your experience. For the attendee's privacy, you are unable to unmute participants.

     

    You can select the option to allow the attendee to unmute, which grants the option for an attendee to unmute at any time. 

     

    Thanks for sharing your feedback, it has been shared with the team.

I can see why that is a feature for the attendee's privacy, but it is not working. We have had several instances where I mute the attendee because of phone interference and then send the attendee an Unmute Request and they can't get it to unmute. It seems like when an attendee uses their computer for audio they can easily unmute themselves but when they call in and I mute them I don't recall seeing an option for them to unmute themselves; I only recall seeing the Send unmute request. If you are saying it is there, I will check it the next time I use GTM.
