Is there a way to disable the mic of a participant in a call or meeting using the API?

Question

Is there a way to enable/disable an individuals mic through the API (like you can as presenter in an online meeting using the UI)?

There is a participant mute but not exactly what we need.

Thanks

Hi @Tom Brown

While creating onlineMeeting you can use property "allowAttendeeToEnableMic" to disable mic for attendees. By default mic is enabled and value is true.
You need to pass false, as this property require Boolean value to disable mic for attendees. Please refer to the below sample screenshot

Result:

Hope this helps.

You may refer this graph call - graph/api/participant-mute

In here you need to pass - clientContext, participant id, and call id which you might get from contextAPI call from graph.

----------

const options = {
authProvider,
};

const client = Client.init(options);

const muteParticipantOperation = {
clientContext: 'd45324c1-fcb5-430a-902c-f20af696537c'
};

await client.api('/communications/calls/57dab8b1-894c-409a-b240-bd8beae78896/participants/2765eb15-01f8-47c6-b12b-c32111a4a86f/mute')
.post(muteParticipantOperation);
