This article will explore methods to deactivate the unmute feature on Zoom.
Disabling Unmute in Zoom Settings

Once you have clicked on the “Mute” button, a pop-up window will appear. In this window, you will see an option to “Always mute my microphone.” Check this box and click on “Done” to apply the changes.
