“#Windows 11 Gets a Keyboard Shortcut to Mute Your Mic”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"Windows<\/p>\n

Microsoft has just announced<\/a> a new\u00a0Windows 11 Insider Preview build for the Dev channel. Version\u00a022504 is not the most exciting update, but it does bring a keyboard shortcut to the new taskbar mute button.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of small features tucked in this Windows 11 Insider Preview build, such as improvements to the Your Phone app<\/a>,\u00a0personalized emoji, and more. But the thing that really caught our attention is the\u00a0keyboard shortcut to toggle the new mute icon in the Taskbar when it\u2019s showing.<\/p>\n

To use the new shortcut, you\u2019ll need to hit\u00a0WIN + Alt + K to make it happen. You\u2019ll need to be in a Microsoft Teams call (or another app that supports the taskbar mute button) for it to work. It might sound small, but when you\u2019re panic muting because your child is screaming or your dog is barking, this is a big deal.<\/p>\n

As far as the Your Phone\u00a0app changes, it\u2019s getting an updated design. Notifications go down a sidebar on the left side of the screen for quick access. It has a new view, which Microsoft says, \u201cIn this new view, you\u2019ll always have access to your messages, calls, and photos with the added benefit to stay on top of important messages and other notifications more efficiently with this glanceable view.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Microsoft is expanding the 13 themes for the touch keyboard to other input methods, including IMEs, the emoji panel, and voice typing. This is more of a visual change, but it\u2019s still welcomed.<\/p>\n

Finally, Windows 11 is getting\u00a0personalized combinations of emoji based on the face and skin tones of family members.<\/p>\n

These changes are rolling out to Windows Insiders on the Dev channel, and assuming everything works correctly, we should see them in the final Windows 11 release in the future.<\/p>\n
