Media Keys

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

Media Keys puts playback and microphone control at your fingertips no matter what you're working in. Play, pause, skip, and adjust volume using your keyboard's media keys, even when the active window has nothing to do with your music or video.

A single global shortcut also mutes or unmutes your microphone instantly, so you don't have to alt-tab into your meeting app first. Configure the shortcut - or turn the whole feature off - from the Settings app.
