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...
Nakatsubo You can 'hard-mute' the entire audience by using your telephone key pad, pressing *5 to rotate through listening modes.

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 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.
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!
