When is it appropriate to keep the microphone muted in a video meeting?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When you are not speaking
Muting the microphone when not speaking prevents background sounds such as traffic, typing, or household activity from disturbing the meeting. A participant should unmute before answering or presenting and mute again afterward. Thus, the practice improves clarity and meeting etiquette; the other situations require the microphone to be available for speech.
