Clint Rutkas has announced a new experimental version of PowerToys for Windows 10 with the new Video conference mute feature.

PowerToys v0.24.0

PowerToys is a set of utilities for power users to tune and streamline their Windows experience for greater productivity. Inspired by the Windows 95 era PowerToys project, this reboot provides power users with ways to squeeze more efficiency out of the Windows 10 shell and customize it for individual workflows.

This experimental release contains our Video conference mute feature plus everything in our v0.23.2 release. We know we have some issues and we have a master tracking issue - #6246.

To find out more about the Video conference mute utility, head over to head to our Video Conference Mute overview.

Things to note

• This release will not be on WinGet due to the driver still prompting for permission during install time.
• This release is on the "Experimental" train, so only prerelease versions will be prompted for updates. If you are running 0.23.x, the next major update for you will be 0.25.
