**Description**  
Detection of a person who speaks with a muted microphon.

**Additional context**  
I want to include in my app the function to detect a muted speaker and then automatically unmute him. Unmuting should not be a problem via the SDK, but I haven’t found anything about the status of a speakers’ microphone (if it does receive noise- e.g. somebody is trying to speak). Is there something I haven’t seen yet?

I know that Zoom has the built in function, that shows you as a muted speaker that you are muted and suggests that you should unmute yourself but thats not enough for me as I want to trigger automatically an unmute sequence when such a person is detected.

Thank you in advance! 🙂

We don’t have a feature to determine if the user is speaking with their mic muted. If you want this feature considered for a future release you can submit to our [Ideas Portal](https://portal.productboard.com/nsh3c2ofzhlj5rstqxwnbfp4).

However, the Zoom client will notify a user if they are speaking on the selected mic and are muted.

If you wanted to unmute a user you can use the setAudioState function:

> **[ZoomSdk | @zoom/appssdk - v0.16.8](https://appssdk.zoom.us/classes/ZoomSdk.ZoomSdk.html#setAudioState)**
>
> Documentation for @zoom/appssdk - v0.16.8

I hope that helps!

Thank you for clarifying my question. 👍
