What is how to mute a tab?

Here's how to mute a tab in most modern web browsers:

You can usually mute a tab in a few different ways:

  • Muting via Tab Context Menu: Right-click on the tab you want to mute. A context menu will appear. Look for an option that says something like "Mute Tab," "Mute Site," or has a speaker icon next to it. Selecting this option will mute the audio coming from that tab. To unmute, repeat the process and select the corresponding "Unmute" option. See more about it on context%20menu.
  • Clicking the Speaker Icon: Many browsers display a speaker icon on tabs that are currently playing audio. If you see this icon, you can often click on it directly to mute or unmute the tab. For more information, look at speaker%20icon.
  • Browser's Audio Control Panel: Some browsers have an audio control panel accessible via the address bar (where you type URLs). This panel allows you to control the audio output of all tabs that are playing sound. You can mute or unmute individual tabs from this panel. More information available at audio%20control%20panel.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: While not universal, some browsers or extensions may offer keyboard shortcuts for muting tabs. Check your browser's settings or extension documentation. See more about it on keyboard%20shortcuts.

The exact wording and appearance of these options may vary slightly depending on the browser you are using (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

Keep in mind muting a tab only silences the audio from that specific tab. Other tabs will still play audio as normal.
