Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Will you be muted in the zoom call, yes. But technically, no... this Mic itself cannot be muted as a device. The mute button in zoom stops the microphone's input being broadcast to the zoom call only. The microphone is still physically listening to whatever is going on. How can you tell? When you join a zoom call and "Join with computer audio" in Windows 10, you'll see a microphone icon in the icon tray in the bottom right corner in the windows icon tray. As long as the zoom call is active, the microphone icon remains, meaning zoom has ownership of the microphone. During that time, the mic is "owned" by zoom and can't be used by other apps The way you can tell if mic is being used is by the microphone icon appearing in the windows icon tray. I have never had this happen outside of a zoom call. You can use W10 settings to not allow some standard W10 apps to have access to the microphone ever, I did that... Go to the windows search bar, lower left and type: Microphone Privacy Settings Click that and then uncheck every app but zoom. Out side of this, the best you can do to mute this mic is to unplug it when not in use.
