I'm using a Mac.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for muting the mic during a call?
I can't find one, and I often need to toggle mute/unmute.
Clicking the button on the Skype interface is very inconvenient :(

You can use spacebar to toggle mute/unmute.

The Skype window has to be the one in focus to do this, but it works well. – lo_fye Sep 29 '10 at 18:33

While the application does not have a built in keyboard shortcut for it you can add one using the Keyboard Shortcuts feature in the Keyboard Preference Pane in System Preferences.

  1. Open System Preferences
  2. Open Keyboard
  3. Change to the Keyboard Shortcuts section (If using Snow Leopard click Application Shortcuts on the left side)
  4. Press the '+' button.
  5. Select Skype as the Application
  6. Menu Title: "Mute"
  7. Choose a Keyboard Shortcut (eg. Command-Option-M as Command-M is used for minimize.)
  8. Press OK, close System Preferences and restart Skype if it was open.

Thanks! I'm using F15. Easy to find in the dark, and never used anyway :) – lo_fye Oct 1 '09 at 11:33
