The || button is a "Hold" button, not a "Mute" button. If the server is configured to do so, putting the call on hold will play hold music, where mute will just disable your microphone.
I often join conference calls where I mainly listen, but sometimes speak. In these cases, I cannot put the call on hold, otherwise the other members of the conference will hear hold music. I just want to be able to quickly mute/unmute my microphone, and to easily see if I'm on mute or not. -- show mute button during a call https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368107 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
