Hushboard is a simple desktop utility that automatically mutes the microphone while the user is typing, preventing keyboard noise during video calls. It works by detecting typing activity and unmutes when typing stops. Currently limited to Xorg sessions on Linux, it is ideal for anyone who participates in frequent video meetings and wants to avoid background typing sounds.
