Update a Participant
To mute, unmute, expel, or admit a participant in a live meeting. The participantId is required to identify the meeting and the participant.
The attribute 'expel' always takes precedence over 'admit' and 'muted'. The request can have all 'expel', 'admit' and 'muted' or any of them.
Warning
There is an inconsistent behavior in Webex Meetings App when all active meeting participants join using Webex Meetings App and the host attempts to change meeting participant status using this API. The ‘mute/unmute’, 'admit' and 'expel' a meeting participant requests will return a successful response and update the state in the API, but the changes will not be applied to the Webex Meetings App participants. The inconsistent behavior in Webex Meetings App will be corrected in a future release. Workaround: Turn on closed captions OR the Webex Assistant.
