Overview
Hushboard is a simple utility designed for Linux users who want to reduce background noise during calls and conferences.
This app automatically mutes your microphone whenever you start typing.
As soon as you stop typing, it un-mutes the mic right away.
This helps keep your calls quieter by blocking out the sounds of typing without you needing to press any buttons.
Hushboard works only on the Linux platform and requires an Xorg session to function properly.
It does not work if you are using Wayland sessions.
Be aware that Hushboard’s features are focused strictly on muting the mic while typing.
It does not include other audio or call management options.
This tool fits well for people who want an easy, automatic way to control their microphone during online meetings, video calls, or conferences.
By muting your mic while typing, it prevents the noisy clicks from distracting others in the call.
This encourages a better audio experience for both you and the people you talk to.
In summary, Hushboard is a lightweight and useful utility for Linux users looking to manage microphone sound more quietly and smoothly during calls.
It is especially helpful if you frequently join audio or video meetings and want to avoid unwanted typing noises without manual mic controls.
Remember, it only runs in Xorg sessions on Linux systems.
