Automatically Default to mute on entry when scheduling

[pfnewco]

We have an admin scheduling many of our meetings. They have provided us with the host ID but is there anyway to default to participants muted in a webex meeting (not event)?

The host can select Participant from the top left menu and turn on Mute on Entry as well as Mute All.

Can a Host set up the meeting in advance to mute everyone upon entry?  I have used the Participant, Mute on entry feature but would like it set up ahead of time.

Hi @alisa.schneider ,

This capability will be introduced in version 40.10 (October release).
Hard mute settings can be preset during the scheduling process for the host (available for Personal Room and Scheduled Meetings):
