Muting Zoom Audio without Turning Down the Computer Volume

If you are using Windows 10 or Windows 11, then you should be happy to know that Microsoft has released a system-wide feature called Windows Volume Mixer.

It is one of the best and easiest ways to control the audio of different apps at the same time, since it is a system feature, so it works flawlessly without any issues.

Windows Volume Mixer allows you to control the amount of audio output coming from different apps at the same time, so which means if you are on a Zoom call while you want to watch a YouTube video, then you can simply head to the Volume Mixer and turn down the volume of Zoom, while your YouTube audio output will remain unchanged.

To access Windows Volume Mixer, all you need to do is, while on Zoom call and other apps are running, right-click on the volume icon from the bottom right corner of the taskbar and click on Volume mixer from the contextual menu.

From the screen that opens up, you will be able to control the volume levels of individual apps that are currently running and are using the computer’s speakers.

You need to select the Zoom meeting toggle and either reduce the toggle to lower the volume or tap on the mute button to completely mute the zoom call audio.

This will mute the audio volume of your zoom call and won’t change the audio level of any other apps or the computer’s audio, everything will remain unchanged.

We hope to have helped you by providing you with such a hack through which you can mute your zoom audio call while enjoying your streaming or listening experience without hampering the sound or the quality of the audio.
