Every time when talking on Skype, I look in panic for a control button to turn the microphone on or off. Annoying terribly. So I set up hotkeys.

**MicMute** will help turn on / off the microphone using the hotkey.

![Micmute](https://blog.themarfa.name/content/images/2020/01/image-125.png)

The program has a minimum of settings, and in fact you can only change the hotkey by which the microphone is turned off / on. Separately, you can select the devices for which MicMute will work. Or set the walkie-talkie mode when the microphone only works when the key is pressed.
