Moderated unmute mode
Moderated unmute mode
Moderated Unmute mode allows hosts and cohosts to unmute participants directly instead of prompting users to unmute themselves. For example, a teacher may unmute a student when they call on them. Meetings in Moderated Unmute mode have an indication at the top of the meeting window to let everyone know.
If your administrator has enabled Moderated Unmute mode, you can schedule meetings with it, or enable it for Personal Room meetings.
