What is Mic Drop?

Ever been in a video call and needed to turn off your microphone, but couldn’t find the mute button quickly enough?

Mic Drop helps you mute (and then unmute!) your microphone with a keyboard shortcut or a menu bar control. It works with every meeting app out there—from Zoom to Slack, FaceTime to Houseparty.

It also shows your mic status in a menu bar icon, so you'll always know at a glance whether you're muted or not. And it lets you (un)mute yourself even if you don't have your meeting app open.

Mic Drop:

  • Allows you to define a custom keyboard shortcut that works across your Mac.
  • Works with every app and audio device out there.
  • Automatically keeps you muted (or unmuted!) if you change audio devices.
  • Supports push-to-talk and push-to-mute.
  • Shows your microphone status in the menu bar.
  • Respects your privacy. Mic Drop never listens to you.

Because Mic Drop mutes your audio at the system level, it works with any app you can imagine. We’ve tested with:

  • Zoom

  • Slack

  • Google Meet

  • Skype

  • Microsoft Teams

  • Discord

  • FaceTime

  • Vidyo

  • Houseparty

  • and many more.

It just works. No matter where you’re meeting, Mic Drop’s got you covered.
