Is there is any way to disable audio output in ACS Teams meeting ? There are methods in Call interface for remote participant videostreams, but I don't see a way to manage(enable/disable) audio output from ACS meeting.

    @Saravana Thank you for reaching out with your question regarding disabling audio output from a speaker.

    We apologize for the delay in reaching out to you but we wanted to reach out to the product group to ensure we provided you with the latest information.

    At this time, it is not possible to disable audio output but this is a feature that is being investigated for the future. There is no ETA to share at this time.

    @brtrach-MSFT Thanks for the update.

    It would be helpful for us to identify where the audio is being played from SDK in the browser. We can disable audio that way.

    E.g.

    • If it is from HTML audio element embedded in the page, then we can mute it.
    • If it is part of participant video stream, then we can mute the video element.

    Is this something that ACS team can provide it to us so that we can have a workaround for this issue until the feature is implemented ?
