Here we demonstrate the commands that will allow you to globally mute/unmute your microphone so you won't need to go fumbling to find the right button in your video conferencing apps like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Skype or Jitsi. Just create a custom keyboard shortcut to this command in your favourite desktop environment.
The commands to use are either:
pactl set-source-mute @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ toggle
or
amixer -q sset Capture toggle
