Question / Help How to mute mic but not anything else

[shanegutss]

I think it should be simple but no matter I've been searching and searching and I can't find anything that tells me how to just mute my mic. It's really stressing me out. Please If you give me an answer explain it to me like I'm a 5 y/o.

Go into the Settings menu, into the Hotkeys page.

Scroll down until you see a section labeled Mic/Aux (if you selected your mic in Settings > Audio under the Mic/Aux area.

Assign the same key to both the "mute" and "unmute" functions and then that key will toggle your microphone.

Your Mic should also appear in the Audio Mixer area of the interface, and the speaker icon there will mute and unmute your mic like any other audio source.
