What feature would you like to see?
Provide a clear, persistent way to tell whether the microphone is muted during a Codex voice session even when the Codex window is not focused.
Desired behavior
- The mute/unmute state remains visible outside the focused Codex UI, such as through a menu-bar, dock, system-level, or other persistent indicator.
- The state updates immediately when the microphone is toggled.
- The indicator makes it easy to avoid speaking into a muted session or accidentally leaving the microphone live while working in another app.
Why this matters
Voice sessions often continue while users switch applications. The current in-app state is not readily visible in that workflow.
