Turn off your computer’s microphone when you’re not in a Webex Meeting

This automatic detection feature can be simply disabled, allowing you to avoid the desktop program from constantly using the microphone that is connected to your computer.
1 Log in to the Meetings desktop software, click, then select Preferences > Video system, and then uncheck the box. Find neighboring devices and connections automatically.
2 Simply turn on the setting once again when you are prepared to connect to a video device so that you can exchange material or connect to meetings.
