MuteMe · Setup & support
Choose what counts as being in a meeting.
MuteMe can use microphone activity, a supported app’s meeting state, or either signal. Your choice determines when in-meeting preferences apply.
- Location
- General Settings
- Default guidance
- Use both when they suit your setup
Choose the signals
Open General Settings → In-Meeting Detection Strategy. Select at least one option:
- Microphone-In-Use Detection: treats detected microphone use as in-meeting activity. It can also detect non-meeting apps using the input.
- Conferencing App Meeting Detection: uses meeting state from an enabled Level 3 integration that can report it.
- Both selected: either signal can mark you as in a meeting. It does not require both signals at once.
Understand what changes
The resulting state affects your configured in-meeting/device colors and the tray or menu-bar indication. It does not choose a microphone, grant app permissions or prove that transmitted audio is muted.
The app recommends both options for general use. If background software keeps your microphone active, consider whether app meeting detection better matches your workflow—but confirm your platform actually reports meeting state.
Test your normal workflow
Open a private meeting, leave it, then open any other tool that uses your microphone. Check the indications in each state. Use the microphone-use reference to interpret the Tools display and the platform setup guides to check app integration limits.
Older macOS releases before Monterey are forced to app meeting detection by the app; current software requirements are on Downloads.
