- Additional updates to the MuteDeckMaintenanceTool, both on macOS and Windows. It's now signed, so it no longer says "Unidentified publisher" when installing an update. It'll say Lostdomain is the publisher. (which is my primary company name).
- API: Allow calls that set a desired state, not toggle the state. For example, you can call
POST https://localhost:3491/v1/mute?state=offto make sure mute is off. If it's already unmuted, MuteDeck won't change the status. More info and examples can be found in the Swagger specification.
What's new in MuteDeck.
Every release, ordered by recency. Anything notable lives here.
- Improved compatibility with Webex v43 and above, following interface updates.
- Users running MacOS 13 and above may experience issues with the MuteDeckMaintenanceTool update checker. To resolve this, please download and install version 1.4.1 of MuteDeck before attempting to update from within the software.
- Action Notifications have been adjusted to ensure they are centered on the screen.
License Improvements
You can now purchase one-time licenses for Mutedeck, which provides access to the software indefinitely without the need for recurring payments.
In addition, I've also added activation management features to the website, making it easier to manage your licenses and track their usage.
The software has been updated to support perpetual licenses as well and now includes the ability to deactivate licenses if necessary.
Developer Experience Improvements
In this update, I've added OpenAPI specifications and an embedded Swagger UI for API testing, so you can easily create automation against MuteDeck with anything that supports the OpenAPI standard. You can also test your APIs from within the MuteDeck software using the Swagger UI - no more messing around with external tools. This is a big time-saver, making it a lot easier to get started with the MuteDeck API.
🐛 Fixes
- Don't steal focus when an action notification is shown
- Microsoft Teams on Windows: Don't automatically toggle video more than once per session. It could lead to continuously toggling the video when MuteDeck wasn't detecting the call
- Fix leaving a Teams meeting when you're the host by sending the leave shortcut
- Fix an error when updating: Cannot get authorization that is needed for continuing the installation.
- 👆You might see this error when updating from v1.3 to v1.4. Please download a fresh installer from https://mutedeck.com/downloads
Microsoft Teams support 🎉 I'm delighted to announce official support for Microsoft Teams for Windows and macOS! Microsoft didn't make it easy, but it's finally here. Support for all the actions (mute, video, recording, sharing, and leaving meetings) is present. Only English is supported for now, with more languages coming in a future MuteDeck version.
You might notice your video toggling twice quickly when you start a new Teams call on Windows. That's necessary before MuteDeck can see the meeting controls. If you've changed the shortcut to toggle video, you need to let MuteDeck know (check #3).
Action notifications It's good to get confirmation on whether things work. So, whenever you perform an action on the Stream Deck, Loupedeck, or via the API, MuteDeck will confirm the action on your computer. In the middle of your screen, a transparent, non-disruptive notification showing what you just did will pop up for a second.
You can turn this off by unchecking the Show action notifications option.
Changing the button & window size At popular request, you can now adjust the size of the buttons on MuteDeck. Changing the size will also automatically resize the window, so you can pick the size that fits best on your computer.
Check out the Button size option in the settings.
Fix Zoom detection when sharing in the latest Zoom version The latest version of Zoom has a change that makes MuteDeck forget there's a Zoom call whenever you start sharing your screen. v1.3 takes that Zoom change into account and recognizes the call again.
Warning when Zoom or Teams are in an unsupported language MuteDeck supports an extensive list of languages for Zoom and English for Teams, Webex, and Google Meet. The Status section of the settings now warns you whenever there's an unsupported language configured.
Handle multi-tasking between Zoom, Teams, etc. If you're like me, you switch between Zoom, Teams, or Webex constantly - depending on who you're meeting with. MuteDeck now handles this properly.
If you come off a Zoom call and move into a Teams call, MuteDeck will continue to offer you control.
Fix Webex call detection (broken since 1.2 ☹️).
macOS: Added support for Zoom's 'Use system language' option, detect the system language and adjust accordingly.
Introducing Zoom Language Support
MuteDeck now supports Zoom in all 16 available languages! People worldwide can now use Zoom in their native language and master their meetings using MuteDeck.
🇩🇪 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 🇮🇩 🇮🇹 🇯🇵 🇰🇷 🇳🇱 🇵🇱 🇵🇹 🇷🇺 🇹🇷 🇻🇳 🇨🇳
A new section called Status in the settings dropdown will tell you which language is active. As Zoom adds more language support, MuteDeck will follow.
Official Google Meet Support Using a Chrome and Brave extension, MuteDeck now supports Google Meet, along side Zoom and Webex.
To get started with Google Meet, install the new MuteDeck Chrome (and Brave) Extension. You can find the link and steps in the help center.
New communication method between the Stream Deck plugin version 3.0, making updates between MuteDeck and your Stream Deck lightning fast ⚡
Improved the updater by removing the last popup, making the update process fully automated. It also makes sure MuteDeck is started after the update is done.
MacOS Specific
- Keep window in all desktops
- In fullscreen mode, pressing escape now exits fullscreen
Add preview support for Google Meet calls using a Chrome extension. Install the extension here.
Add an option to open the window on start (or not). Useful for when using MuteDeck only with plugins and you don't need to use the window.
MacOS: Use a different way of addressing the system microphone, making 'coreaudiod' use less CPU while MuteDeck is running.
- Add support for Windows set to a different language than English. Note: Zoom/Webex still need to be set to English.
- Improve support for Windows 10 & 11 fresh installations.
