I very much appreciate your response. I've gone/been to that setting and "do not" have the "Mute my microphone when joining a meeting" checked. However, Zoom still has my microphone muted when I join another person's meeting. Would this be a Zoom problem/glitch then?

This settings change started a few months ago for me (June 2023). I too do not have "mute my microphone when joining a meeting" checked. If I join someone else's meeting, it doesn't default to mute at the start. But as the host, I am now always muted - regardless if I use my personal meeting ID or a system-generated ID. Zoom changed something and I have no idea how to change it back! I've even changed the mute setting and restarted but that doesn't impact the situation. So frustrated!!!

Hi robvpp,

As a host/co-host you can manage the behavior or the participants, including automatically muting all participants when joining a meeting, as explained here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/203435537-Muting-unmuting-participants-in-a-meeting

Maybe the host of your meeting has this setting enabled.

I have a similar situation. All of my "Mute on entry" option are unchecked. I am running Zoom Webinar. I have the most recent updates for Zoom and on Windows 10. No matter what I do, I am alwayss entering the meeting Muted. Even my own meetings! I could really use some help here. This is particulary annoying.

TIA,

Bob Oxford

Hi Bob,

It wasn't an easy fix:

Zoom: The solution isn't thru Zoom, for me. None of their recommendations were successful.

Microsoft: I somehow managed to reach Microsoft, they were actually helpful ( 🙂 ), but also wasn't the solution.

HP (My Monitors are HP): Theirs also wasn't the solution.

Dell (My Laptop is Dell): SUCCESS! A Dell Support Rep was able to fix the problem. Don't ask me how, they accessed my Computer and ran troubleshooting, changed options, and Viola!

I hope you find a solution, it was aggravating and time-consuming, but ultimately working.

Rob,

Please don't leave me hanging like this! If there's any way of asking what options the Dell support tech changed, I would be incredibly thankful. I've browsed all the control panel settings related to microphones but can't find any solution myself.

Best, John
