We've been asking for this feature for a long time now! The time has come to have the ability to mute all of your participants in one click of a button. Here is the info from the Google Workspace Updates Page:
What’s changing
Meeting hosts in Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals and Education Plus domains can now mute everyone all at once in Google Meet.
This feature will launch to additional Google Workspace editions in the coming months.
Who’s impacted
End users
Why you’d use it
This change gives the host more control by helping them prevent or stop disruptions coming from unmuted users.
Additional details
The meeting host is the only user in a meeting who can use the “mute all” feature. Once all participants are muted, the meeting host cannot unmute them. However, users will be able to unmute themselves as needed.
The mute all feature will only be available for hosts who are joining from a desktop browser, but will be launching on other platforms in the coming months.
Getting started
Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
End users: This feature will be available by default to meeting hosts. Visit the Help Center to learn more about muting participants in Google Meet.
