Am I reading that correctly or is it saying you can unmute people on the call? That should never be able to happen. A moderator should be able to mute people but never unmute them.
- benji-york 5y agoI'm torn on this one. It is especially an issue when people join via phone they may not even know how to unmute themselves if e.g., the moderator had to mute them because of some background noise.
- amarok1412 5y agoThere is two level of muted. local mute and moderator mute. If somebody is muted locally it can't be unmuted
- heyoni 5y agoThat's clever but maybe too clever? I guess it could work for users who dialed in if maybe there was voice feedback to say "you are muted" or "you are unmuted". I'm not sure I have a great solution for it but it sounds like it could lead to users thinking they're muted and continuing on in a private conversation.
- amarok1412 5y agothere is a label shown and a red icon on the participant with the mic crossed
- heyoni 5y agoSure, but if I see that and start a conversation with my wife or I don't know, turn on the news and someone unmutes me, and I'm walking around the house with headphones on then I wouldn't see that.
- bandali 5y agoThe moderator and local mute/unmute are separate. If you mute yourself locally, no one else can unmute you. Similarly, if a moderator mutes you, you locally unmuting yourself wouldn't override that either.
