Description

Context When in a large channel with light-to-no-moderation, sometimes users will start recording without asking if anyone doesn't want to be recorded. When this happens, I typically mute myself / let go of the push-to-talk button.

Describe the feature you have in mind I would like an option somewhere in the settings to have Mumble auto-mute whenever someone in the channel begins recording.

Describe alternatives you've considered I'm not aware of any way to automate Mumble to do this, so I have been doing it manually.

Additional context None.
