Windows 10s open-source PowerToys: Video meeting mute tool hit by pandemic, says Microsoft
Summary
Microsoft has released a new update for its retro program PowerToys, but once again it doesnt include a utility to let users quickly kill audio and video in an online meeting while working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first release from September included FancyZones, a utility that lets users create their own zones for dragging windows into neat arrangements on the screen. During the initial phase of the pandemic, the project released a Windows launcher akin to Apples macOS Spotlight search and additional tools like a color picker for front-end developers. It was a good idea back then and still is today, but the utility has missed all releases since then because contributors havent had the time or energy to deliver the product. "Our goals for 0.27 release cycle was to focus on end-user experience, stability, accessibility, localization and quality-of-life improvements for both the development team and our end users," he wrote.
