Added support for the new "Bring to Front" action that pulls the Zoom, Teams, and other application windows to the front. That way the conference call apps are way easier to find when you're multitasking. Pending plugin releases (Stream Deck v8.0, Loupedeck v6.0).

One of the greatest things about MuteDeck is the ability to use the same buttons in different conference call apps. The initial Custom Actions didn't allow that, so I changed that!

Now, you can create custom actions with the same name. Meaning, you can create a custom action called that has the right shortcuts for the right apps. Below is an example for Zoom and Google Meet.

In Stream Deck, Loupedeck, etc., you can select raise-hand as the action, and when pressing the button, MuteDeck will figure out which is the active call app and send the right shortcut. It'll even send it to multiple active calls. 😂

Maybe you spotted it in the above screenshot; I've also added a new option called "Active Application" to the custom actions. This will send the shortcut to the application window that's active. Any application. Any shortcut. Let that sink in. 😊

So, if MuteDeck does not support your preferred conference call app yet, creating Custom Actions using the will let you control your calls anyway. In the screenshot above, I used Discord as an example, which uses shift+command+m to toggle mute on macOS.

But it does not have to be limited to call apps. It can be any app and any shortcut. The copy-text action is a perfect example.

I'm excited to announce this update includes , a feature that allows you to send any keyboard shortcut to Zoom, Teams, Webex, or Google Meet. Yup, that's right. You can now do anything with MuteDeck! 🤯

Here's a few examples of how you could use Custom Actions: raise your hand, change to the gallery view, open the chat, and so many more!

There are also new buttons that can be used in multi-action buttons. These buttons do only one thing, like unmute, start or stop video, sharing, or recording. Remember, Single Action buttons don't show the current status, you can keep using the Toggle buttons for that.

Minor updates to the Chrome Extension for Google Meet:

I am delighted to announce that MuteDeck v1.5 now supports the Microsoft Teams Third-Party API! What is it, you might ask? I'm glad you asked!

The newest version of Teams has a direct communication channel with third-party apps such as MuteDeck. Thus, rather than scanning the Teams interface, MuteDeck can directly inquire about Teams' status and manage it.

This means:

The new actions are:

MuteDeck's API (and built-in specifications for developers) has already incorporated these new features. The Stream Deck, Loupedeck, and TouchPortal plugins will follow soon!

I have also corrected a glitch in which Webex was wrongly shown as disabled when it was turned on in the settings.

You might need to install an update twice. This is part of optimising the updater, so it can go smoothly in the future.

: Version 1.4.3 includes a major improvement for speed and reliability, which involves checking only the necessary applications. This fixes sluggishness in apps that were added later (Webex, Teams).

Zoom and Teams will be enabled by default, but if you use other apps, you can enable them in the settings under the new section called "Application Sync":

The first time you launch v1.4.3, it'll open the settings dock automatically and call attention to the settings.

But wait, there's more!

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.

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.

🎉

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).

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 option.

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 option in the settings.

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.

MuteDeck supports an extensive list of languages for Zoom and English for Teams, Webex, and Google Meet. The section of the settings now warns you whenever there's an unsupported language configured.

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.
