Mute background noise
If you joined the meeting using the Internet for audio, the Meetings app can detect and remove background noise. Removing background noise helps limit distractions and prevents disruption while allowing your voice to be heard clearly.
For more information, see Remove background noise during a Webex meeting or event.
Mute other participants
If you're the meeting host or cohost, you have options to help you moderate your meeting. You can mute individuals or everyone at once, prevent participants from unmuting themselves, and mute participants automatically when they join. Muting participants is useful when you hear background noise or when participants speak out of turn.
