I'd love to have a global "toggle Teams mute" button.

View on HN

```

hs.loadSpoon("MicMute")

binding = { toggle = { {"ctrl", "alt"}, "m" } }

spoon.MicMute:bindHotkeys(binding)

```

You'll have to add the MicMute spoon which just mean downloading the zip here, unzipping, and opening the .spoon. https://www.hammerspoon.org/Spoons/MicMute.html

What do you mean? Like muting the entire application so no sound comes from Teams or muting yourself while on a call? For the latter, I thought 'Option + Space' worked (or used to)?

Cmd+Shift+m mutes/un-mutes your Mic when focus is on teams window.

I think GP is asking about a global (from any application) mute/unmute teams Mic. I have wished for one for ever.

Hmm, I don't have teams installed on my Mac, so I cannot be of much help, but I do have a potential solution for you.

Is completely muting your mic sufficient? If so, I have an Applescript solution that seems to work if you want it. I tested it in VoiceMemos and it worked even if I was in a different app in a different space. You can bind the script to a global hotkey very easily via many different apps like Alfred, Karabiner, etc..
