How to Mute Zoom<\/b><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s face it; there are times where you may want to <\/span>mute<\/span> your <\/span>Zoom<\/span> meeting <\/span>without muting your computer<\/span>. Consider that you are part of a <\/span>meeting<\/span> with multiple people. If all of those <\/span>participants’<\/span> audio<\/span> is on, there will be disturbances during the session and <\/span>turning down the volume might not help<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be aware that you will only be able to <\/span>mute<\/span> others if you are the meeting host. However, you can <\/span>mute<\/span> yourself regardless of whether you are the host or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

Method 1: Mute Yourself<\/b><\/h3>\n

Click on the \u2018<\/span>Mute<\/span>\u2019 or blue microphone button at the bottom of your screen. <\/span>Clicking on this button will <\/span>mute<\/span> only you<\/span>. Clicking on the same button again will unmute you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Method 2: Mute Another Participant<\/b><\/h3>\n

If using a computer as the host, hover over the <\/span>participant<\/span> at the top of the screen, click on the \u2018<\/span>Mute<\/span>\u2019 icon that appears blue. On your phone, tap on the <\/span>participants<\/span>\u2019 section; this will open a list of all the <\/span>participants<\/span>. Tap on the person and select <\/span>mute<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Method 3: Mute Everyone<\/b><\/h3>\n

On the computer, you as the host can click on \u2018Manage <\/span>Participants<\/span>\u2019 at the bottom of the screen. A new window showing all the <\/span>participants<\/span> will open to your screen\u2019s right; from here, you can click on \u2018<\/span>Mute<\/span> All\u2019 at the bottom of this section. On the phone, you tap on the \u2018<\/span>Participants<\/span>\u2019 button again and right at the bottom of the list will be a \u2018<\/span>Mute<\/span> All\u2019 option. Tap on it to <\/span>mute<\/span> everyone<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
