How do I mute the participants of my Zoom meeting?

Zoom is an American platform that was created in 2011. Its function is to be able to create video calls with the best quality . It should be noted that it has become very famous in the last 2 years due to the pandemic and meetings can no longer be held in person. So a lot of people flocked to Zoom.

What should you do to mute a single participant in your meeting?

If you want to temporarily mute a single participant, you can easily do so. Muting a single participant in a Zoom meeting is not such a reliable solution, as the participant can unmute their microphone again. Like any procedure in Zoom, this one is not complicated at all. Next, we will see how:

1. You have to create a Zoom meeting with participants and click on ‘Participant’ that remains in the navigation bar.
2. Within participants, look for the person, click on their name and click on mute.

From the mobile application

Muting a single Zoom participant on mobile is easy. Keep in mind that this is not such an effective option, since the participant can activate his microphone again by himself. Like any procedure in Zoom, this one is not complicated at all. Next, we will see how:

1. Make a room in Zoom with participants and click on ‘Participants’ that remains in the navigation bar.
2. Within participants, search for the person, click on their name and click on mute.

With the website of your PC

You can mute a participant from the website on PC and there is nothing complicated about it. However, even by doing this, the participant can activate their microphone again . Next, we will see how:

1. Create a Zoom meeting and invite multiple people. He now clicks where he says ‘Participants’ which is left on the navigation bar.
2. Then, among the list of people, look for the person you want to mute, click on their name and click on mute.

In addition to just muting participants, you can also set Zoom’s security and privacy settings . That is very important to protect the personal data entered in Zoom.

What is the procedure to mute all participants?

You can mute all meeting participants on one device without any hassle. This can benefit you a lot when you need silence for a while, since later you can activate everyone ‘s microphone . Here’s how:

1. Go to Zoom and create a room for a meeting, go to ‘Participants’.
2. Within participants click on ‘Mute all’ which is at the top of the screen on the right.
3. If you want to activate your microphone again, do this same procedure. If someone new comes in, do the same procedure to mute them again.

Is it possible to do it if you are not the host?

If you are not a host, you do not have the option to be able to mute someone , as this can only be done by the person who created the meeting and has all of these options at their disposal. Although you cannot mute because you are not a host, there is still an option that can be applied to mute people.

How can you mute someone in Zoom meeting if you are not the host?

As you already know, if you are not a host in a meeting you cannot mute someone, as it is classically done, but there is an alternative option that you can use. In this one, everyone will be muted on our device . Next, we will see what it is:

1. Enter a meeting on Zoom and within the meeting touch the three dots that remain at the bottom right of the screen.
2. Inside there, tap on the ‘Mute everyone’ option and you’re done.

With the Android or iOS mobile app

If we are not a host, we cannot mute a participant , but there is an option that we can use on Android. It is just as easy as all the previous ones, then you can see what it is:

1. Enter a Zoom meeting and within this meeting touch the three dots that remain at the bottom right of the screen.
2. Inside there, press the ‘Mute everyone’ option and that’s it.

When you no longer need to use your Zoom account on a certain device, you can sign out . That way, no one can use your account.

On the official Zoom portal

If you’re not a host in a meeting, you can’t mute someone, but there is an option that we can use even in the Zoom portal . The best thing is that there will be no complications, but this option will silence everyone on our device. Next, we will see what it is:

1. Enter Zoom and within a meeting click on the three points that remain in the lower right part of the screen.
2. Inside there, tap on the ‘Mute everyone’ optionand that’s it.
