Assign Participants Roles in MS Teams

When you schedule an online class or a meeting, you can assign roles to participants and restrict the control of participants on Microsoft Teams like – remove participants, mute participants, share content, etc. This will help to better manage online classes and restrict students' control as a participant in an online class and avoid any inconvenience. The following is a guide to assign roles to participants of online class/meeting –

Roles in a meeting

You can assign participants a role in an online class or meeting as presenter or attendee. A participant’s role controls what they can do while in an online class or meeting, as shown in the table below.

Set roles before the meeting / online class starts

You need to send a meeting invite to participants before assign roles. Once you have sent invites to all participants of meeting / online class then, go to Calendar, click on the meeting you just created, and select Meeting options

When you click on Meeting Options, you will be redirected to a webpage to set roles for the meeting. It is recommended for an option Who can present? select from drop-down Only Me. This will make all other participants join as attendees.

Change roles during a meeting

If you were unable to assign or change the roles of participants before the meeting then, you can do it during the meeting.

Click on Show Participants in your call controls, on the left side you will see list of participants, right-click on the participant whose role you want to make a change. Select Make an attendee or Make a presenter.

You can quickly access Meeting options and change roles for both current participants and anyone joining your meeting future, click on More actions in your call controls then, click on Show meeting details. On the left side, you can find the link to your Meeting options near the join link for the meeting.
