What bothers me a lot sometimes is that i fear there is a bug in the software mute. Specially when this is implemented separately by each VC software. The bug that even if you think you are muted, the software still fed the audio to the audience.
The reason i’m raising this is knowing software is very complicated nowadays and are more susceptible for bugs. The other day my MS teams froze. I closed the app and tried to open it again. That didn’t work. It felt like i merrily closed the frontend while the backend was stuck. I remember the days a window was a task, closing that window terminates the task. These days are over. Somehow these softwares are made so complicated, not sure for what reason, that the likelihood of introducing bugs is increased.
So taking this frontend-backend example. Imagine the mute button just sends the command to backend for mute but the backend failed to do so. And the frontend assumed all was fine. The user would have been misinformed.
I would use the (hardware) button that stops the audio at the microphone level all the time.
