Discord is worse. Their buttons for mute-microphone and turn-off-camera are inverses of each other.
- causal 3y agoYes! So confusing.
- FridgeSeal 3y agoI hadn’t noticed- or struggled with this, but I guess it makes sense. The channels are primarily audio and stream focused, with users video being second in priority (makes sense when you consider its initial target audience). So by default mic is active, video is not. When you mute yourself, you get a “muted” indicator next to your name anyway.
- pavel_lishin 3y agoThose defaults make sense, but the UI used to literally have the indicators swapped. (They seem to have fixed this since last time I used it.)
- deathanatos 3y agoThey are? Whether the icon has a slash or not: Device is currently ->| On | Off ------+-----------+------ Camera| unslashed | slashed Mic| unslashed | slashed The camera button is on a different row, and gets a background rect that the mic button doesn't, and turns green when on (vs. the red for the mic when off) … but I think that's sort of a mapping to the default Discord state & showing things that are "against normal expectations"…?
- pavel_lishin 3y agoI stand corrected after confirming this for myself, but I swear it used to be the opposite.
