To mute and unmute yourself in Google Meet, you can use buttons or call controls on USB and Bluetooth devices, such as headsets or microphones. If your device has an LED status light, the light syncs with your current mute status.
Before you begin
You have to pair your Bluetooth headset before setting call control. For best results:
- Use a Meet-certified headset or microphone.
- If you use a Bluetooth headset with native Bluetooth connection, use a WWCB-certified device.
- Devices that aren’t Meet-certified might not work as expected.
