And that’s why today, we’d like to introduce you to the MuteMe illuminated mute button.

Talk in the same room with multiple workers/learners

MuteMe is also a great solution for virtual calls with multiple people. For instance, the company’s Kickstarter page shows a video of two professionals in the same room, each participating in the same conference call on two separate computers. This mute button comes in handy in this situation, because it allows one coworker to easily turn off his microphones while the other is talking, eliminating the weird echo they’d get by having both of their mics on at the same time.
