I don't know how a mechanical microphone switch would have helped in that case.
That seemed to be a UX issue. The board was on a call with other members, and didn't realize that there was another participant. Some news stories just called it a "hot mic" issue because it is easy to glance and get an idea of what the story is about, but that's not exactly what happened.
- dv_dt 6y agoAn external microphone with a physical push to talk button would be a pretty perfect UX if that is your worry.
- atoav 6y agoAlthough this might not be simple enough for typical users a (On)-Off-On toggle switch (momentary in one direction, latching in the other) would be perfect for this.

- dv_dt 6y agoGood point, my work-from-home "laptop" is a desktop I built so I guess I'm pretty sure there is no internal mic .
