MEMES on Instagram: "😂 A mic muted means the microphone is turned off, so no sound from that person is being transmitted or recorded. When a mic is muted, others cannot hear you, even if you are talking. This is commonly used during calls, meetings, livestreams, or recordings to prevent background noise, side conversations, or accidental sounds from being heard. You’ll usually see a microphone icon with a line through it, indicating that the audio is muted until the mic is turned back on."
