You can now communicate and collaborate with confidence and ease using the new call mute feature on Windows 11,” wrote Amanda Langowski and Brandon LeBlanc, who head the Windows Insider Program.

“No more awkward or embarrassing moments when you forget to unmute or mute your microphone. The icon will be present all throughout your call, no matter how many windows you have open or what is on your screen. You also can use the icon to see your call audio status and which app is accessing your microphone. Instead of having to manually search for the mute button in Teams, you can click the Microphone icon in the Windows 11 taskbar and choose the Mute option. The initial iteration of this icon works as you’d expect, though it is currently only for select Windows 11 beta testers.

Rolling out in the latest Windows 11 Dev Channel build is a new mute icon in the taskbar for when communications apps like Microsoft Teams are in use. Microsoft is making it easy for you to mute your microphone when you don’t want to be heard on Microsoft Teams calls.
