Overview
A big UnMute button thats always on top to instantly toggle your MS Teams Mic. Click the button and it'll instantly bring MS Teams to the forfront AND will unmute your mic. After that, it changes to a green "Mute" button.
It’s Linux-only for now because Microsoft Teams on Windows isn’t nearly as accessible programmatically as it is on Linux.

Why I Decided to Make This
I and my coworkers are frequently caught off guard in meetings when called upon and don't have our MS Teams app up front, ready to click the unmute button to begin speaking. We have to hunt through all our open windows to find the app, all the while, our teammates are telling us "You're on MUTE!" And if we don't get to it soon enough, the meeting coordinator moves on to the next person.
Friday (2 days ago), during our morning meeting, this happened to one of my teammates and when she finally got unmuted and began speaking, she explained she couldn't find her Teams app buried in all her windows and said, "I wish I had a great, big unmute button that's always there!"
I thought that's definitely worth having, so I made it. Enjoy.

History
Created in a weekend of frustration in 2025.
Future Plans
I believe this is feature complete. I want to keep it super simple. I'll fix bugs, but will probably keep it as-is, otherwise. It's rare that I get to say, "This app is DONE!".
