Mute participants in a video call from your Android device

Background noise from other participants happens!  When it does, there's two solutions for you:  You can either mute a single participant or you can mute all participants.

Who can mute other participants?

If you started the video call or you were given admin permissions, then you can mute all of the participants on the call from the Settings. 

Participants always have the option to un-mute themselves whenever needed.  A notice message will appear in the call, and an activity item is sent to those affected so participants are notified when muted by a call admin.   

Mute all Participants 

1. While connected to a video call, tap the gear icon. 
2. Tap the red Mute All button.
3. Tap the Mute button in the confirmation popup.

Mute a Participant

An admin can mute individual participants from the user's thumbnail at the bottom of the call.  You can tap the screen if the thumbnails are not visible. 

1. Long press on a user's video thumbnail
2. Tap the Mute option in the popup menu
