DW> Can't you just mute your mic when you are not talking?

At one of my last jobs, there were often online meetings with many people in different offices.  Sometimes they had to ask people to mute their mic (or just mute everyone except the speaker) due to all the noise coming through many peoples' mics.  It would often be a combination of typing, people eating things, people talking to other people near their computer, and/or various other noises.
