How to get rid of the microphone icon in the menu bar?!


I've closed this website under "Website Using Microphone", cleared my history, and clicked command while I dragged the icon out but this icon still persists. Also, when I click on "Mute" it doesn't do anything.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

Hey there aminariazx,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It looks like the mic on your Mac is being used though you’ve closed the app and more. I’ll be happy to help with this.


It looks like this is related to a BlackBoard Collaborate session. Do you have any browsers or a BlackBoard app open on your Mac? If so, quit the apps and see if this helps:


Quit apps on Mac


If that doesn’t help, boot your Mac into safe mode and see if the issue returns:


Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac


Regards.
