I see the usefulness in muting your microphone from a Hotkey, as it’s a way that should work universally across apps.

 

I’d be wary of calling it a way to take control of one’s privacy, though. Just like the Workflow can unmute the microphone programmatically, so can anyone else, which means muting it doesn’t offer any protection against those who are shady.

I Agree. I want to mean privacy and not protection because mute microphone keeps your privacy ok but not means protection by itself.
Just a way to avoid "audio leaking' when entering in a meeting call.

I didn't not mean that it protects anything further the privacy of audio.

Thank you for creating this! It's a zoom call life saver!

However running this also disables my speakers and I cannot hear anything, is there a way to just disable the mic and leave the audio running?

 

Thank you!

Came here to say thank you! Exactly what I need right now.

Is it possible to modify this script to mute *all* mics, so if I have a USB mic plugged in, this script would mute, not only the active mic, but all of them?
