Description

Click Mute to disable the microphone on your telephone so that the other party or parties cannot hear what you are saying.

Click Mute again to reactivate the microphone.

If you are in a conference call hosted by a different IC server and you put the call on hold, you should first click Mute to avoid playing on-hold music to the other parties in a conference call.

Also, if you are currently being assisted by a supervisor, the customer no longer hears you, but the supervisor can continue to converse with you. For more information, see Coach Button.

Note: The Mute button is unavailable if the call is not in a state in which this action can be performed.
