When users join a Lync 2010 meeting, their audio starts off muted. Is this by design and can this be changed?

Thanks,

The experience you are mentioning can happen when before you joined the meeting meeting organizer/presenter might have opted mute all. If organizer/presenter is not selecting mute all option then behaviour will be different.

The Organizer/presenter is not selecting mute all option, however all other users start the meeting in a muted state, except the presenter.

That is expected behavior - all parties entering a scheduled conference from the Lync client are muted by default.

can I change that behavior on my PC?
