Here we demonstrate the commands that will allow you to globally mute/unmute your microphone so you won't need to go fumbling to find the right button in your video conferencing apps like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Skype or Jitsi. Just create a custom keyboard shortcut to this command in your favourite desktop environment. The commands to use are either: pactl set-source-mute @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ toggle or amixer -q sset Capture toggle The link for my config (dot) files and scripts at gitlab is: https://gitlab.com/sleepyeyesvince/config-files Attributions: Photo by visuals on Unsplash - visuals-Y4qzW3AsvqI-unsplash Contact me: Twitter: @sleepyeyesvince MeWe: https://mewe.com/i/sleepyeyesvince
