A few days ago, I joined one while I was \u201cchatting\u201d with my cat. I had assumed that I\u2019d be muted, but I was wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, folks on the call just heard my cat for a few seconds. That made me realize that there should be a setting to join a call always on mute. Thankfully, I found it. Here\u2019s how you can enable it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open the Zoom app on your desktop.<\/li>\n<li>Head to <em>Preferences &gt; Audio<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Check the \u201cMute microphone when joining a meeting\u201d\u00a0 box.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1340817 lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"162\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2021-03-01-at-10.24.11-AM.png\" data-lazy=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2021-03-01-at-10.24.11-AM.png 541w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2021-03-01-at-10.24.11-AM-280x84.png 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2021-03-01-at-10.24.11-AM-540x162.png 540w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2021-03-01-at-10.24.11-AM-270x81.png 270w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2021-03-01-at-10.24.11-AM-536x162.png 536w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/basics\/2021\/03\/01\/how-to-always-join-a-zoom-call-on-mute\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthenextweb.com%2Fbasics%2F2021%2F03%2F01%2Fhow-to-always-join-a-zoom-call-on-mute%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: Setting for muting audio when joining a Zoom call\" data-title=\"Share Setting for muting audio when joining a Zoom call on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share Setting for muting audio when joining a Zoom call on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>Setting for muting audio when joining a Zoom call<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span>Now, whenever you join a meeting, you\u2019ll be automatically muted until you manually unmute yourself<\/span>.
