(S21) Just participated in a teleconference. Had a heck of a time distinguishing whether my microphone was muted or active. Any suggestions regarding how best to resolve this?

Make sure that you The microphone permission on, you will see a green icon, also open the app that you are using and make sure the microphone permission is turned on

Thanks. I was in the middle of a teleconference so I couldn't easily identify whether my cell phone mic was off/on without disturbing the meeting. The fact that the slash mark never disappeared baffled as well as frustrated.

The color of the mute icon turns green when you are muted. You are unmuted when it is the same color (gray) as the other icons

That's what frustrated me. Both green and grey have slash marks. On other mute icons I'm familiar with the slash mark disappears when the mic is open. "Green" for mute seems counterintuitive as green is usually associated with "go" ie. TALK.

I agree, the design concept isn't really there for simplicity. It definitely can be confusing
