Media+

Play, pause, and mute your mic from any window - without breaking focus.

Media+ puts playback and microphone control at your fingertips no matter what you're working in. Play, pause, skip, seek and adjust volume with customizable keyboard shortcuts, even on keyboards without dedicated media keys. Playback actions depend on the media application's support for Windows media controls.

Mute your microphone with Ctrl+Win+Alt+M and unmute it with Ctrl+Win+Alt+U, without switching to your meeting app. Change or disable each shortcut in Settings, and enable a tray indicator that shows when your microphone is muted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need step-by-step help? See the full Media+ guide →

Do the media keys work while I'm in another app?

Yes. Global shortcuts work while another app has focus. Playback and seeking require the media app to support the corresponding Windows media controls.

How do I mute my microphone quickly?

By default, Ctrl+Win+Alt+M mutes the microphone and Ctrl+Win+Alt+U unmutes it. Change either shortcut in Settings under Media+.

Can I turn Media+ off?

Yes, it can be disabled independently in Settings if you'd rather use another tool for media or microphone control.

Does it work with Bluetooth or wireless keyboards?

Yes. Assign shortcuts on wired, wireless or Bluetooth keyboards; dedicated media keys are not required.
