Managing Participants and Meeting Controls

Body

Similar to Zoom, Microsoft Teams offers a number of features for organizing your meetings and attendees. How to utilize them is as described below.

  1. Click on the Participants icon to see a list of everyone in the meeting.
     

  2. From here, you can mute/unmute participants, pin people, or remove participants if necessary.
     

  3. You can also spotlight someone, which is similar to Zoom's Pin feature, making that person the primary speaker on everyone's screen.

 

Meeting Controls in Teams

  1. Mute/Unmute: Just like Zoom, you can mute your microphone when not speaking to reduce background noise.
     

  2. Turn Video On/Off: You can toggle your camera on or off by clicking the camera icon at the bottom of the meeting screen.
     

        3. End Meeting: When the meeting concludes, you can click the Leave button, similar to Zoom’s end meeting feature.
