PARTICIPANTS TO REMAIN MUTED TILL PERMITTED TO UNMUTE

[PURU484]

I want to keep all participants to remain muted all through the meeting.

If some one wants to unmute they need to take permission form the host

How to do this setting

Hi @PURU484 

When you schedule your Meeting on the Zoom Web Portal , toward the bottom, click show next to Options. You will see the option Mute participants upon entry, that you can check (see attached screenshot). 

The following Zoom support article discusses how to enable on the Option:

I hope that helps!

In addition to what @FORE-Craig mentioned, you'll also want to Uncheck "Allow participants to unmute" which is located under the "Security Shield" button on the Zoom toolbar. Then they are muted on entry, and they cannot unmute themselves through-out the meeting. The only exception is when the Host sends a Request to Unmute to them and they reply YES to it.

Hi Jeff,

I'm sure this is operator error, but I'm unable to find the uncheck option to "Allow participants to unmute." I know you mentioned it's located under the "Security Shield" button on the Zoom toolbar, but I can't seem to find it.

Can you attach a screenshot, or is it possible that the option is not available or is restricted to me by my employer?

Thanks!

Eric

I found the option to prevent participants from unmuting themselves in the participant window.

I was just getting ready to post this screenshot. Timing is everything.

As @Danyelle96 mentioned, you can also find it at the bottom of the participants list.
