Zoom has confirmed that there was a bug in its macOS app that could cause the orange microphone-in-use indicator to appear even after leaving a call.Īccording to a company representative, the latest version of the app no longer has this problem.

With a new privacy feature introduced with macOS Monterey that shows an orange dot in the menu bar when an app is using the microphone, users were able to immediately notice that there was something wrong with the Zoom app.Īlthough the causes of the bug were unknown, the company has now fixed it, the report said.

Since December last year, a number of users have been complaining about this bug in the Zoom Community.Īccording to them, Mac`s microphone stayed active even after ending a Zoom conference - which certainly raised privacy concerns. Video conferencing app Zoom has released a new update to its macOS app following user reports about the microphone not being disabled after ending a conference.Īccording to the company, this was just a bug that has now been fixed, reports 9To5Mac.
