Here’s a handy little gizmo that’s going to be a hit with all those homeworkers who spend their days on Zoom meetings and conference calls. It’s the ideal tool for anyone who wants to control their computer’s audio with a more analog feel and precision control that you simply can’t get using a keyboard.
The eMute is a media controller made by eMeet. It’s a clickable rotary knob that connects to a computer’s USB port. With one press the eMute can turn off your computer’s microphone, skip a music track and do more with the help of the eMeetLink software. Having an instant mute button is a big help if one of the kids starts shouting or the dog begins to bark while you’re working from home and trying to sound professional.
With the eMeetLink software installed, one press immediately mutes the mic and turns the LED ring encircling the knob from red to blue. A mute symbol also appears on your computer screen so that you know the microphone is inactive.
The eMute can plug directly into a Windows or Mac computer and provides basic audio functions. It’s plug-and-play in terms of compatibility, the control knob works with all major video meeting platforms like Zoom, Teams and Skype. When used with a Mac it can work with most platforms except Zoom.
With an eMute connected to your computer there will be a mute sign on the screen and a bright red ring lights up. This saves any embarrassment caused by forgetting to unmute during a meeting.
Pricing & Availability: The eMute from eMeet goes on sale soon and will cost $39.99 / £39.99 / €39.99.
