AirPods Tip: Mute Your Mic Directly From Your Earbuds
Table of Contents
Video meetings have become a staple in many workplaces. A key feature is muting your microphone when you’re not speaking.Now, you can control this directly from your AirPods.
Rather of navigating through your meeting app (be it Teams, Meet, Zoom, or a regular call), you can now silence your microphone directly from your AirPods. The settings for this feature are located within the AirPods settings on your iPhone. First, ensure your AirPods are in your ears, then navigate to Settings, and then to your AirPods settings on your phone.
Within the “Call Control” settings, you’ll find the option to configure “Mute or Unmute.” Here, you can select whether a single or double press on your AirPods will toggle your microphone during a call.
This setting won’t interfere with other functions. You can still answer calls with a single press. Once the call is active, the designated press action will control your microphone. By default, a double press ends the call, but this can also be customized within the settings.
