Managing participant audio in a Webex meeting is crucial for minimizing disruptions and maintaining focus. Webex offers features that allow you to mute participants automatically as they join or mute all participants during the meeting.

Automatically mute participants as they join the meeting

To ensure a quiet environment from the start, you can set your Webex meeting to mute participants as they enter.

Step 1: In the Webex meeting window, click on the 'Participant' menu located in the toolbar at the top.

Step 2: From the drop-down menu, select 'Mute on Entry' to activate this feature for your meeting.

Now, any new participants joining your Webex meeting will be muted by default.

Mute all participants during a Webex meeting

If the meeting has already started and participants are present, you can mute everyone simultaneously to eliminate background noise.

Step 1: Within the meeting window, click on the 'Participant' menu in the toolbar at the top.

Step 2: Choose 'Mute All' from the list of options to mute all participants instantly.

By effectively using these muting options in Webex, you can conduct your meetings with fewer interruptions and maintain a productive environment.
