_I am surprised that a topic such as “how to mute a specific participant just for me” has not been adressed yet._ _Following on marc.ockenfels post:_ As a zoom Meeting participant I want to be able to mute another participant just for myself. When I have a zoom meeting with colleagues in the same room, I don’t want to hear them all the time twice. To mute the microfon to all meeting participants does not have the same effect. Other people shall hear him or her talk!! Another reason for this feature: In larger meetings (bigger \> 30) people leave their places unmuted and backround sound is automatically amplified. When in this situation the host is afk, the meeting fails. No one hears another person anymore. No host is able to mute the person that left with background sound. And other participants have no possibility to ignore the disturbing sounds. Please provide the feature “Mute for me”. thx _It seems a lot of zoom users should benefit of it has shown in the forum._ ---
