Quick Notes: In this page, you will learn how to efficiently mute all participants to manage large sessions smoothly.

0️⃣ Overview

Hi tutor, you may find yourself in a situation such as:

  • Students entering the session with active microphones.

  • Background noise disrupting the session.

  • Difficulty in delivering instructions due to noise.

To address these challenges, we will look into how to:

  • Mute all participants

  • Mute participants as they join


1️⃣ Scenario 1: Quick Mute for All

This action mutes everyone in the session, including co-hosts.


2️⃣ Scenario 2: Muting as Participants Join

Apply settings to mute all new participants upon entry, ensuring a controlled environment from the start.

STEP 1: Preparation

  1. Tutors with host/co-host access log in before students.

  2. Tutors’ microphones remain active for communication.

STEP 2: Session Control

  1. Enable 'Mute Participants on Entry'.

  2. Initially, disable 'Allow Participants to Unmute'.

Note: Once the session is ready for interactive activities like icebreakers, you can permit participants to unmute themselves.
