# Muting and unmuting your workstation

Note

The mute function is available only for My Computer configuration.

Use the mute function when you want to prevent other parties from listening to your conversation or to avoid the background noise during an active call.

On an active call or during conference, perform any one of the following actions:

- To mute the call, click Mute.

  The Mute button changes to Unmute, and other listeners can no longer hear any background noise.

- To disengage mute, click Unmute.

  The Unmute button changes to Mute, and the callers can hear you speaking.
