Mic Drop

Mute your mic in any app with one key

MacFree to start

The verdict

Mic Drop mutes and unmutes your microphone for the whole Mac, so it works the same in Zoom, Meet, Teams or FaceTime. Use a keyboard shortcut, the menu bar, AppleScript, a Stream Deck or a press on your AirPods. It also supports push-to-talk and push-to-mute, so a barking dog or a keyboard never reaches the call.
