Release Notes

This support page shows you major changes and releases notes for the MuteMe Client application. After version 0.8.2 release notes are tied to issue numbers and feature requests that we are tracking. Support for Linux is limited to the operating system Mute/Unmute only at this time.

0.15.2 - Software Release - 4-11-2023

We are excited to announce the latest release of MuteMe, version 0.15.0, which includes several new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Watch this video to learn more about how to setup level 3 support for Google Meet.

#283 - Level 3 Google Meet Support

We have made significant improvements to our software, including the ability to have level 3 mute with Google Meet. Please download the MuteMe chrome extension to get started. With this update, you can now have even greater control over your meeting experience, making it easier to stay productive and focused.

#276 - Dark Mode

We have added a much-requested feature to the desktop application: dark mode. With this update, you can now switch between light and dark modes, depending on your preferences and needs.

#281 - OS Specific Language Changes

We have made changes to the app's language settings, taking into account the different terms used across different operating systems. Since MuteMe is a cross-platform app, we understand the importance of using the correct language and terminology for each OS to ensure our users have the best possible experience.

#287 - Support Tab Messaging Fixed

We have fixed a bug that prevented users from sending messages from the support tab to our customer service team. This issue was due to a backend change, and we have resolved it to ensure that our users can reach out to us whenever they need help.

#286 - Teams Sync Fixed

We have fixed a sync issue with the "New" Teams on Windows. After Teams put out a new version, we made sure that MuteMe stays in sync, so that our users can continue to use our app seamlessly with their preferred collaboration tool.

!86 - Framework Upgrades

We have upgraded our electron, typescript, webpack, and node frameworks to ensure that MuteMe stays up-to-date with the latest technologies, and that our users can benefit from the most robust and secure environment possible. This is going to also help with app performance.

We hope you enjoy these new features and improvements, and we look forward to continuing to provide you with the best possible experience with MuteMe. As always, if you have any feedback or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

0.14.2 - Software Release - 2-24-2023

#272 - UI/UX Enhancements

This release brings various user interface and user experience enhancements to the MuteMe software. We have made some tweaks to the layout and design, added new features, and improved the overall functionality to provide a better user experience.

#262 - UI/UX LowRes Screens

We have optimized the MuteMe software's user interface and user experience for low-resolution screens with this release. The software has a different startup experience that works better for lower res screens.

0.13.1 - Software Release - 12-15-2022

#269 -MS Teams HotFix

This is a hot fix. Due to some changes made by Microsoft on both macOS and Windows, integration with our software was breaking for customers. This is a quick fix to address that issue going forward.

#266 - MS Teams Full Screen Bug

Users had reported that when the window for Microsoft teams went full screen that they would lose the ability to control mute and unmute functionality for a period of time.

#228 - MacOS Dock Icon Bug

The update will attempt to fix the macOS dock icon and how it appears in the dock on macOS. This will fix will work for new users we are still working on making a change for existing users.

#265 - New Mute Sync Service

We are releasing a new more reliable sync service to ensure everything stays in sync. This is a major update to the program and will result in a faster and better overall user experience.

#259 - Random Crash Fix

Some users had reported that their MuteMe app was closing on its own without user intervention. This update contains general fixes to address that issue and make other minor improvements.

#258 - Mute Cycle Bug Cleanup

This is some clean up code with respect to previous fixes.

0.12.2 - Software Release - 8-28-2022

#259 - Silent Crash Bug Fixes

Some users had reported that their MuteMe app was closing on its own without user intervention. This update contains general fixes to address that issue and make other minor improvements.

0.12.1 - Software Release - 8-16-2022

#034 - Goto Meeting Level 3 Support

Added Level 3 support for the new GoTo meeting app on both Mac and PC. Special note for users: The GoTo Meeting app does not present mute/unmute controls to our software in the same manner as some other apps so to control the meeting mute feature we have to bring the window to the foreground and meeting controls will not work if the app is hidden in the dock (mac) or tray (pc). It can however be behind other windows and work just fine.

#251 - Zoom Configuration Notification

Many users miss the initial setup instructions for zoom resulting in a poor user experience. This is a notification to remind users of the simple configuration steps required such as enabling meeting controls and setting the global keyboard shortcut when syncing with zoom.

#254 - Slack Huddles Hotfix

Simple hotfix for slack huddles which had some user interface work and broke compatibility with newest version.

#252 - Disabled Audio MS Teams Support

Users had the ability to disable audio when they started a MS Teams meeting. Our software did not know how to account for this situation since audio is disabled and it is not a "normal" meeting. We added logic to handle this unique case.

#257 - Smart OS Level Muting

Under Microphone Settings we added an option to disable OS mute/unmute control when a meeting is detected. This feature is enabled by default to improve out of the box compatibility with certain hardware. Some headsets did not know how to handle both OS level mute and application layer mute at the same time and would cause issues for users. If you wish to be double muted at both the OS and application levels you can uncheck the box under Microphone settings. Double mute has been known to cause issues with certain hardware.

#258 - Mute Cycling Fix

Some users continued to experience mute / unmute cycling. This fix aims to resolve that.

0.11.3 - Software Release - 7-25-2022

#252 - MS Teams Sync Hotfix

The mid-July release of MS Teams made some changes to their software and these changes are to ensure compatibility.

0.11.1 - Software Release - Released 7-7-2022

#244 - WebEx False Meeting Detection Fix

For some users WebEx meeting detection was being triggered randomly. This fix aims to address that issue by providing our controller more specific instructions.

#242 - macOS Memory Leak

Many users on macOS had reported a memory leak that would eventually use more than a few GBs of memory. This fix aims to address that issue.

#240 - Device Firmware Reporting

This is a behind-the-scenes change but our software wasn't able to properly detect the revision number of the hardware that was connected and although there's no current use eventually we want to be able to see on the logs which device is connected and provide notifications that there are firmware updates available.

#243 - Bug Fixes to MS Teams Controller

With 0.10.1 a bug was introduced that caused the mute/unmute button on MS teams on windows to cycle. We released additional fixes quickly with version 0.10.3 & 0.11.0 but this improves the controller and attempts to resolves the issues that users are having. This issue is caused by our switch to a new controller for MS Teams that is faster and more robust. If you continue to experience this issue please contact our support team.

#230 - Crash Fix MS Teams (macOS)

With 0.10.1 a bug was introduced that caused the new teams controller to lock-on to MS Teams and not disengage which would result in a crash once the lock screen was activated. We have resolved that issue.

#233 - Built-in Support Tab with Log Upload

This is a new feature that allows you to send a message for support or a feature request directly to our support team from the application. Currently we have a lengthy procedure to pull log files and send them to our team. This will streamline that process and ensure our team had the information they need to help quickly.

#235 - Fix Discord Sync

Improvements were made the the applet that controls our integration with Microsoft Teams. We have improved the responsiveness and the abilities to quickly detect changes in Mute/Unmute status.
