Mist: At the request of a friend hit the program MicMute, which disconnects the microphone by pressing a keyboard. Why Why? Well very simple. You are participating in an online conference, or just chatting with a girlfriend on Skype, and here - a mess! - scream from the kitchen: What kind of h..y put this y...y table on the back of the kitchen, b...y?!" If you have the reaction worked out, then by pressing, say, just Shift, Right Windows + Ctrl or whatever you set there in the program, the microphone will be cut off, and your interlocutors will hear nothing.
Alexey: what they just don't come up with, just not to clean the taburet :)
