Is there a way to force mute all participants upon join, with the WebSDK?

[mbabineau (Matt)]

I basically want users who join to be in a listen/view only mode. The JS SDK reference is…sparse and a bit hard to understand what the functions specifically do. Has anyone achieved this?

Thanks,
Matt

you can do that if if you are host of the meeting, see https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/sdk-reference/web-reference.

nevertheless, for now you have to do this regulary or manually, as no event callback is available upon attendee join. ’ inMeetingServiceListener’ callbacks should be available in zoom 1.8, according to the API reference

ZoomMtg.muteAll({
    muteAll: true
});

Hey @mbabineau, @harald.glanzer,

You can also toggle this setting in the Zoom web portal:

Thanks,
