Why is it good to keep your microphone muted when you are not speaking in an online meeting?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To prevent unnecessary background noise
Muting an unused microphone prevents sounds such as typing, traffic, fans, or nearby conversations from entering the online meeting. This allows the current speaker to be heard more clearly and reduces distraction. Muting affects only the user’s own audio; it neither stops other participants from speaking nor ends the meeting or hides its messages.
