Abstract
This manuscript introduces an intelligent auto-mute feature for conferencing applications such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams. The system automatically mutes the user's microphone when the conferencing app window loses focus (e.g., user is not engaged or the window is minimized or moved behind other windows). This behaviour enhances user privacy and reduces unintended background noise during meetings. It also leverages window state detection and system-level audio control to deliver a seamless and context-aware conferencing experience.
