More important than the button is the status indicator - I need to know if the call is muted or not. Even better, promote it to an OS-level icon/badge/overlay.

- captn3m0 6y agoThe color indicator for mic on/off is terribly for Meet.
- nathancahill 6y agoAbsolutely horrible. Both states are equally plausible in the UI.
- neilpanchal 6y agoIt's a toggle switch. The action and its current status is combined.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoAnd then I have to keep hovering over the icon and guessing from the tooltip whether I'm muted or not. Unfortunately, different software tends to be inconsistent with toggle buttons - sometimes the icon tells you what is, sometimes it tells you what will happen if you click it.
- odiroot 6y agoI already have it on my Thinkpad with KDE Plasma. Physical button to block the microphone, LED on the button itself and a tray icon with the microphone status displayed.
- wazoox 6y agoI have it on my IdeaPad with Pop_OS, too. The buttons work as intended and you can easily mute/unmute at any time whatever application has the focus.
