Sametime Unified Telephony and moderator mute/unmute behavior 

When a moderator mutes or unmutes all during a click-to-conference call, the call control does not provide a 'lock'. This means that participants have the ability to unmute themselves after the moderator has used 'mute all'. In other words, call participants are not 'locked' on mute.

The following table outlines what happens during a IBM^® Lotus^® Sametime^® Unified Telephony 8 call when the call moderator mutes or umute all.

Note: This behavior does not apply to a call that starts as a one-on-one call to which additional participants are invited.

	mute all (without lock)
	mute all	unmute all
What happens for moderator	nothing -- not muted	nothing -- still not on mute
What happens for everyone else	mutes everyone (they can unmute themselves)	unmutes everyone who has not self-muted
What happens to new-comers	new-comers come in muted (they can unmute themselves)	unmutes everyone who has not self-muted
What happens to people who have muted themselves	they are muted (but can unmute by pressing unmute on their UI*)	still on mute (to get off mute, they must press unmute*)
