Mute/Unmute Microsoft Teams Microphone Using Mouse Button when Teams is Not Focused I would like to mute and unmute Microsoft Teams, using a spare mouse button, when the application is not focussed.  I am using a Microsoft Sculpt mouse and have a couple spare buttons, particularly the navigate back button, which I would like to reassign to the mute function.
The reason I want to do this is because I am typically having a conversation while working in another application and I want to avoid the delay and context switching of having to focus the Teams Application before either clicking on the mute button or using the command+shift+m keyboard shortcut.
It's inconvenient enough that I have considered using something like Touch Portal on my phone to create an easy hot button but that application isn't signed.
Microsoft does not provide Mac drivers for the Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse or Sculpt Ergonomic desktop.
here is an API call using graph, that does something like you are asking.

They also have an API call to mute

However I don't think you are going to get the feature you want, because when you are using teams, you are not allowed to unmute someone else, and the API has no idea the person you would be trying to unmute, is you.
One thing that should be pretty easy, is to mute/unmute the mic at the operating system level. This would work, however your co-workers would not know you are muted.
