Managing Skype for Business Conference Participants
When you initiate a conference call, you and all conference participants are listed as presenters.
Conference participants with the Presenter icon next to their names are presenters.
As a presenter, you can manage call participants in the following ways:
● Mute all participants or individual participants
● Remove participants from the conference call
● Demote a presenter to an attendee or promote an attendee to presenter
● Enable or disable conference announcements
● Lock or unlock a conference
These options do not display for attendees.
Muting Conference Participants
Only presenters can mute and unmute conference participants.
If a presenter mutes your audio, a notification is displayed on the unified conference station, and a Mute
icon is displayed next to each person who is muted. When a presenter mutes your audio in the Skype
for Business client, it takes one second for the mute icon to display on the unified conference station.
You must wait for the presenter to unmute your audio before you can speak in the conference again.
Mute and Unmute All Conference Participants
Presenters can mute and unmute all conference participants at one time.
