I agree with him. Also, why is there no microphone mute button (or shortcut) integrated in windows? Seems like a must-have nowadays.

- theon144 6y agoAbsolutely, especially since software like Zoom allows the call host to unmute the microphone on your (!) end. It's unsurprising and possible with any kind of software mute of course, but still significant enough for me to seek out a solution - I use https://sourceforge.net/projects/micmute/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/micmute/ but it's not without its hitches, unfortunately :/
- wongarsu 6y agoMy headset has a mic kill switch [1]. It's very useful, and I'm honestly surprised that it isn't more common (especially since volume control is a fairly standard feature on headsets) 1: https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-7 https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-7 The red switch on the back; when muted the front of the mic shines red.
- NobodyNada 6y ago> software like Zoom allows the call host to unmute the microphone on your (!) end. Does it really allow that? In my experience it only shows a pop-up saying "The host would like you to unmute your microphone" and requiring me to confirm. Maybe there's some kind of setting for it?
- paxys 6y agoIt does not. The host can only mute you, not unmute.
- Hnrobert42 6y agoThat has been driving me crazy. I did manage to write an applescript toggle that i associated with my F1 key. I never really trust it, though.
