Genres: Productivity, Utilities

Take control of your microphone.

Whether during a video conference (on Zoom, Slack, Discord, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Skype, FaceTime, among others) or streaming a video (on YouTube or any other streaming platform), always have control of your microphone.

Forget those awkward situations when you forget the microphone unmuted. The neighbor's dog will never interrupt another person who is talking again.

With MicControl you can mute and unmute your microphone at any time using a keyboard shortcut or by right clicking (you can swap buttons in the settings screen) on the icon visible in the system menu bar.

No more searching for the browser tab or application window that is using the microphone.

Preserve your privacy. With MicControl you know when your microphone is being used by another application.
