Mute attendees Permanently
Hi everyone, In my experience as user, I believe the host should have a button to mute attendees permanently in such way they cannot override and unmute themselves. Let me share why: a) There...

Hi
Im trying to find a way that only allows the Organiser to talk and share webcam.
The Mute All button seems kind of pointless when an attendee can override this by un-muting themselves?
Any ideas please
Thanks

We did a test and participants could unmute themselves, we would like to keep everyone muted and not give them an unmute option. Is this possible?
Hi Larry,
Hard mute is an option for Organizers connected via telephone, successfully confirmed by their PIN, using *5 to toggle through listening modes.- Thanks for asking and answering. I was looking for the same information. (Really wish a hard mute was an option.)
Right: Attendees can choose any audio option they wish. The muting behavior can only be altered by an Organizer connected through integrated telephone.
- Thanks for the quick reply! Does that mean they can still dial in through computer and just I need to use the phone option?
Hi Lindsey,
Sorry for the confusion there.
GoToMeeting does use a 'soft-mute' control for Attendees where they can manage their own muting controls through their control panel or telephone keypad. However, if you wish to override these allowances to mute everybody permanently, I would suggest connecting to GoToMeeting's audio through the telephone, as the event Organizer, and utilizing your keypad to cycle through listening modes by pressing *5 on the keypad.
