Video Conference Mute Overview
Back in the June timeframe, we started prototyping an idea. With COVID-19, we're all multi-tasking and trying to make the best of everything and being able to quickly mute while on a conference call is critical regardless of where you are on your computer and what application has focus.
The utility will mute not just your audio but your video as well with a single keystroke. You can do audio, video both. We knew this would impact our roadmap and goals but felt extremely strong that this is the right decision. We're all multi-tasking and trying to make the best of everything and being able to quickly mute while on a conference call is critical regardless of where you are on your computer.
We have a tracking issue - #6246 with all known issues. We know we have issues and proactively working toward resolving them.
Due to these known issues, we're only putting this in a pre-release installer for PowerToys.
- Win+N to toggle both Audio and Video at the same time
- Win+Shift+O to toggle video
- Win+Shift+A to toggle microphone
When the camera is in use, you'll see this wonderful dialog on where you set it on your screen.
