A small Windows 11 app for people who share their screen. When Zoom, Teams, Discord or OBS starts using your microphone, it covers your wallpaper and desktop icons with a plain image. A few seconds after the call ends, your desktop comes back. It only checks which apps Windows says are using the mic. It never listens to or records audio. Mac has apps like this, so I made one for Windows. 7-day free trial.

Could you build this?
