We like the tone for accessibility but also have many reasonable complaints raised by those it annoys. Other meeting software does not have the tone and it makes adoption tougher not having a control on this. Here is an example of feedback I receive:
It's unnecessary. No other meeting platform (Teams, Zoom, even Skype!) has a mandatory signal to let us know that we are muted, and we do just fine without that!
It's distracting. Though it doesn't fully drown out the other speaker's audio, it takes attention away from it, which can make comprehension difficult for people with hearing loss and for English language learners.
It's inconvenient. Webex prides itself on being customizable, e.g., I can decide if there is a sound when people arrive/leave, so why can't I customize this basic of a setting?
Waiting for this change to be added. One of the first that stood out compared to other communication apps :/ Very annoying.

Creating a toggle for the Local Mute/Unmute tone in Webex is a valid and valuable feature request. While the tone serves accessibility purposes, it's essential to accommodate users' preferences and needs. Many users find it unnecessary, distracting, or inconvenient, and this feedback reflects the importance of customization in software.
By implementing a toggle switch to enable or disable the tone, Webex can enhance user satisfaction and make the platform more competitive with other meeting software. This feature would provide users with the flexibility to tailor their experience according to their preferences, promoting a more inclusive and user-friendly environment.

How can this platform suck so much!!!!!??!?!?!??!?!?!??
No wonder Zoom is so much better and widely adopted, if for years you can't do this small little change. I can only imagine the kind of engineers that end up working here, that can't even implement this after 10+ years!

The "beep" is a high pitch tone. It is stressful. I would much prefer not to hear any sound.

what is the roadmap to implement this? It clearly looks like a lot of people can't stand that beep sound.

This is the number one most annoying part of Webex.

This is 2 years old now. Will this be implemented?

No other video conference software I have experienced has anything like this annoying indicator sound. Anyone, including myself, that uses external speakers broadcasts this pointless sound to the entire group. Only way around this is to remember to mute/unmute my speakers every single time I mute/unmute myself in the video call. Incredibly frustrating.

It's indeed very loud and when using speakers audible to others in the meeting when unmuting your microphone. It's unbelievable that this is not customizable.

Please remove the loud beep for mute/unmute. It is annoying and always very loud.

Please! Your help with this. The sound is too loud. Have your heard this with headphones? It should be possible to: toggle, set volume, change the sound.

annoying and useless for most. The beeping also bleeds into the microphone when using across VDI, due to the beep delay coming over from VDI to my host machine (because microphone is already unmute when the beep sound gets played on my host machine) and everyone hears the beep whenever I unmute now.

I am trying to understand why this has yet to be solved. What is the blocking?

This feature makes WebEx Teams video conferences almost completely unusable for me. It's a major impediment to participating in meetings and completely unnecessary.

This is so incredibly annoying. I can't believe this hasn't been solved yet.
