Description
Mycoff is a program that allows for an easy way to mute a microphone input with a global hotkey. Plenty of programs exist that allow muting of playback interfaces -- speakers, headphones, etc -- but I couldn't find very many that allowed easy muting of a microphone input using a global hotkey. This type of functionality is rather handy if you routinely use video chat apps such as Teams, Zoom, Skype, etc.

Usage
Installation
Download the zip file and extract its contents into a new folder. Run Mycoff.exe.
Uninstallation
Exit the application and delete the folder you unzipped it to. No changes are made to the registry.
I can think of ways this will come in handy other than merely muting the mic. It looks like it might be a good way to handle other input-related devices as well.
