I understand that people think their microphone is off when they have muted the microphone in the online meeting. Now, consider that the meeting software reminds you that your sound is muted when you speak.

[”Your microphone is muted.”]

It does this because your sound isn’t really muted… the software ”heard” you. The sound is just not transferred to other participants. But there is of course nothing stopping the software from capturing your sound anyway.

If you don’t have a mute button on your microphone, the next best thing is software that will mute your microphone at the system level. MicDrop is an example of an app I’ve tried for this (Mac only): https://getmicdrop.com

You know it’s working when the meeting software starts throwing an ”error” and saying it’s not picking up sound from your microphone.

@… @… What's the quick shortcut to mute the microphone on Windows? Would be good to be able to tell people.

@… @… I found this article but it talks about only workings for Teams... which would seem to indicate that it's not actually muting the microphone.
