Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When the list of participants is very long, it would be convenient to be able to simply search for a participant in the sidebar and mute them.
Without this feature, one might need to click the chevron/arrow to iterate over all the participants one by one and see who is not muted, which is tedious and a loss of time.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. The participants sidebar already displays microphones but it should also show muted state. This would make it possible to find out who is not muted. Everyone should see this.
  2. Allow moderators to click on a microphone icon to mute or unmute that participant.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
See existing microphone button.

Research direction

Start with the participants sidebar and trace the existing microphone button referenced in the issue. Check how participant mute state is displayed and how moderator actions are authorized. Done means everyone can see muted state, while moderators can click the microphone icon to mute or unmute a participant.
