Muting and Unmuting Zoom Participants at School

I recently found this setting on Zoom for our school district and found it tremendously helpful! The host of a Zoom meeting can mute and unmute the participants in their Zoom classroom after changing a setting and getting permission from the participant. Here’s a video tutorial I made showing how to do it: https://youtu.be/j96BJcho_ec. Make sure to ask permission so the students don’t see this as an invasion of their privacy. Share this tip as you choose, some teachers will find it indispensable.
If you can’t find the “unmute” option in the menu, you probably need to upgrade your Zoom software. It’ll take just a minute: In the Zoom program, click on your face in the upper right corner of the window. Then click on “Check for Updates”.   Then do the instructions from the video above.
The unmute feature probably isn’t available if you are using a personal license of Zoom.
