Important: To use audio lock, you must first turn on host management.
As a meeting host or co-host, you can lock all participants’ audio so that they're muted. Once you turn off Audio Lock, everyone can unmute their devices. Audio Lock doesn't apply to you or other meeting co-hosts. You can only set Audio Lock from your computer or iOS device, but lock settings apply to all devices.
