Feature request: show microphone and Voice-output mute state on the floating Voice control

Request

Please show clear, persistent status indicators on the floating ChatGPT Voice control in the Codex/ChatGPT desktop app for both microphone input and ChatGPT’s voice output.

What the indicators should answer

At a glance, the user should be able to tell:

  • whether ChatGPT Voice can currently hear them, including whether their microphone is muted; and
  • whether they have muted ChatGPT’s spoken voice output.

Suggested behavior

  • Display a microphone icon that clearly reflects whether Voice is listening or the user is muted.
  • Display a speaker icon that clearly reflects whether ChatGPT’s voice output is muted.
  • Keep both indicators visible on the compact floating Voice control, not only in the expanded conversation view.
  • Make each state understandable without relying on colour alone.

Thank you for considering it.
