We plan to enable this feature for all Windows 11 customers in a future serving update. You can now communicate and collaborate with confidence & ease using the new call mute feature on Windows 11.
The capability to mute or unmute your call applies only to your current call.
Other communications applications can also add this capability to their applications. We plan to bring this to Chat from Microsoft Teams (Microsoft Teams for home) later. This means not everyone will see this right away with their Teams calls. We are beginning to roll this experience out to a subset of Windows Insiders with Microsoft Teams for work or school installed and ramp it up over time. Mute and unmute your calls with the microphone icon on the taskbar. The icon will be present throughout your call, so it is always accessible, no matter how many windows you have open on your screen. When you join a meeting, you will see the following icon instantly appear in your taskbar. You can see your call audio status, what app is accessing your microphone, and quickly mute and unmute your call at any time. Starting with Microsoft Teams today, you’ll find a microphone icon automatically added to your taskbar when you’re actively in a call. No more awkward or embarrassing moments when you forget to unmute or mute your microphone.
