If a student is not speaking in an online class, why is it proper to keep the microphone muted?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To protect others from background noise
An unmuted microphone can transmit typing, conversation, traffic, or other background sounds to everyone in the class. Muting while not speaking reduces disruption and makes the teacher’s explanation easier for others to hear. The student can unmute before contributing and mute again afterward. Password changes, file deletion, and image insertion are unrelated to microphone control.
