The Story Behind UnMute

The Story Behind UnMute

This is a short, but fun story. Last Friday, a girl at work, during our morning stand up was called on to speak and did not respond. She was definitely connected as we could see her connection in our MS Teams meeting. Everyone was telling her, "You're on MUTE!".

She finally unmited and told us she was trying to find the MS Teams window so she could unmute her mic. This is a common problem we all run into from time to time. She said, "I wish I had a giant unmute button that was always there!"

I agree! So I made it!

This is what it looks like. It's pretty simple It just sits there, floating over all your other windows. You can click and drag it anywhere you want. When you click the button, it instantly finds your MS Twams window and brings it to the front and unmutes your mic. It then turns into a green "MUTE" button, so you can then mute it just as easily.
