Hi,

Muzzle does not work for me at all. I tried several screensharing apps (Google Hangout, Slack call, Screenhero) and during none of them did Muzzle turn on DND. Can I somehow help you to debug what goes wrong on my machine?

Two things that may differ from your setup: I am using macOS set a German locale and my partition is set to be case sensitive.

Would be great if I could use Muzzle!

I'm not on connect often - does it muzzle Connect?

(IF not, can it please??!?!?!)

thanks.

I think a good addition would be to turn on Do Not Disturb when a second/additional screen is plugged in (like when one is giving a presentation).

I ensured Muzzle daemon was running before sharing my desktop on a Google Hangout using my work account. I just got finished telling everyone on the Hangout that they probably saw the Product Hunt featured product Muzzle and what a great idea it is that it'll block embarrassing notifications from my wife displaying. An embarrassing notification from my wife promptly displays. I go back to sharing only my browser. The notification that displayed was from my personal Google account and was a Hangouts message.

I hope you would be able to support Telegram some time in the future.

And that old fella, WebEx

I'd really appreciate a small addition to Muzzle that would allow me to turn on Do Not Disturb mode for a period of time before being automatically re-enabled.

This could be as simple as an option in the context menu on the Muzzle Menu Item for "Do not disturb for..." with a few options "5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, other"

Alternatively, if there's an app that does this out there already, I'd be happy to use that or would appreciate a bit of direction on the accessibility API used within Muzzle to enable / disable the do not disturb mode so I can hack something together for myself.

We use ClickShare where I work, and it would be great if Muzzle could trigger when a ClickShare session starts.

When I launch Muzzle, I get an error that reads:

"Muzzle failed to process a script properly and the app won't work. Relaunching may fix this. If it does not, please contact me."

Relaunching does not fix the issue, nor does a reboot (for a separate reason, but still..)

Running MacOS 10.13.5

I use Franz to pull many messaging apps together:

Would be great to include both notification badge, and mute features into Muzzle

Great app, thanks for the hard work!!!

In a Zoom meeting the other day, sharing my screen... I still saw notifications come in. is Muzzle just "hiding" these from screenshare, or is it suppose to turn on Do Not Disturb during this time?

My apologies if this is explained somewhere, I just could not find it.

• Cheers

Would be cool to see it's actively working in the status bar

Hi Bryan, this is a helpful addition to my system.

I'm working in an organization where 10-15 people can be on a WebEx call at once, and during a half-hour call, nearly everyone's computer fires off multiple audible notifications (e.g. upcoming meeting reminders, Slack DMs) that interrupt and/or drown out people's voices enough that other listeners like me have a hard time following the conversation.

I'd love to be able to trigger DND automatically as soon as the user joins a WebEx session - as a participant, whether or not they're sharing a screen.

Is that an event that you've figured out a way to capture? e.g. I wonder whether - like Muzzle might be capturing a "share my screen" event - there's a "microphone is enabled/turned on" event that Muzzle could work from?

In thinking about this, there may be folks who are very attached to the narrow focus of Muzzle today. If that's a consideration, would you consider making this a configurable option?

1. Verified DND was off.
2. I started a hangout from a Google Calendar link. It's GSuite for Business if that matters - URL format is https://hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_/companyname/hangoutname?authuser=0 if that matters.
3. Started screenshare.
4. DND is still off.
5. Started 'present to everyone'
6. DND still off.

Thanks,

Paul

Sticking a muzzle on notifications when using screen recording apps would be awesome.

As a feature request, please consider adding QuickTime, ScreenFlow, and Capto (as starting points) when in recording mode to Muzzles' capabilities.

Thanks!

• I downloaded the app, thanks for making this tool free (like it was in the good old osx app/tool days :)
• It took me an extra email to you to find out the tool is smart enough to recognize when the screen is shared/recorded. Shame on me. This is brilliant!
• I tried to use it with Techsmiith Camtasia (https://www.techsmith.com/video-editor.html) and Techsmith Snagit (https://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.html) and both crash Muzzle once recording starts (the Muzzle icon is gone, and the process is vanishing from the activity monitor).
• I cannot record a video of that happening since i cannot record screen recording software, but it is 100% reproduceable.

My setup: OSX 10.11.6
Camtasia 10.0.6
Snagit4.1.5 (but since it affects both Techmith products I guess its something related to the way they record the screen).

Can I help to debug this issue?

TeamViewer is a support/screen sharing app and it would be great to silence notifications when it is running. I am happy to help with coding this, if this is a open collaboration type project.

As embarrassing as it is to have a notification come up while sharing a screen with a colleague, imagine how much worse it is if you're streaming to the Internet at large.

Cisco Jabber is a communications app (voice, video, chat) that allows for full screen sharing. It would be nice to include this in the MuzzleApp in the same way Slack and the other screen sharing apps are supported.

BTW, great app! I appreciate you maintaining this project, and I recognize/understand this feature request may not be on anyone's priority list.

Hi There,

Would be great if you could support the Skype for Business Mac app and maybe even the Lync Web App or Skype Web App.

Cheers,

Jesse

I like the idea of Muzzle being in automode, but for those of us that do training videos and use screen capture programs like Screenflow or Camtasia where we need to control what pops up Muzzle is great, but in one section of my Wrike demo I need the iMessage notification to pop up, and it would be nice if I could simply turn off Muzzle as needed during that part of the demo.

That's a great tool!! Can make a Linux version ?

I'm very picky about apps being in the menu bar. 😅 I'd like to have an option to hide the menu bar icon.

Suggestion

• Add a checkmark to the preferences to hide the menu bar icon.
• If you open the app again (while it's running), it'll open the preferences.

Thank you for your great work! 👍

meet doesn't appear to have support, I suspect no browser based meet tool is yet

Chrome extensions can record and share your screen.
Could Muzzle detect when this is happening and switch on Do Not Disturb?

One such application would be when screen sharing with https://appear.in

Thanks for the great app (and amazing website).

Wrong repo

1. Downloaded the app (thank you!), placed in Applications and launched.
2. Icon appeared in taskbar
3. Joined a hangout in Chrome as the only participant
4. Clicked screen share button
5. Task bar icon immediately disappeared and DND was NOT turned on
6. Shared my screen
7. Stopped screen sharing
8. Icon's empty space eventually went away
9. 100% reproducible

So the geek users know that after a download from the website, and extracting the zip file will provide you the app in your Downloads folder, then you move it to the applications folder to run it. But the average user tends to do things like, run Chrome out of the DMG or leave an app in Downloads forever. I happened to move it to Applications after I had run it for the first time, and when doing a check for update, it gave the generic error message about a read only disk and what not.

I've seen a few other apps that after first run, or the first question when launching it if it doesn't detect it's in Applications, will ask one time if you'd like to have it move itself to the Applications folder. I think it then restarts itself if you say yes.

By the by, this is great!

It would be amazing to have support for WebEx Meetings, because that's what I personally use most ;)

Cheers

It would be fantastic to have support for hipchat video calls as that's what we use.

I love muzzle - however sometimes I want to use muzzle when I'm not screensharing. Would be nice if I could click a button like 'snooze notifications' that would turn muzzle on for x amount of time. Keep up the great work!

I was wondering why Muzzle kept turning on do not disturb when I wasn't screen sharing; turns out it's happening when xScope is used:

https://xscopeapp.com/

We were just discussion distractions when running meeting, it would be awesome to have Muzzle supported DnD for joining any meeting not just screen sharing.

Potential Interface

• Menu bar toggle for Muzzle When > Screen Sharing | Participating in a Meeting
• Preferences drop down: Muzzle When > Screen Sharing | Participating in a Meeting

I love the auto detect idea, but all my screen sharing happens while livstreaming to the internet on YouTube and/or Twitch.tv. Would love the option to turn muzzle on and off for this.

Alternatively if you prefer the auto detect method, the livestreaming software I use is Wirecast.

Thanks!

It would be nice to have the support for this platform.

On Mojave, when MuzzleApp activates or de-activates Do-Not-Disturb, it doesn't change the DND status but just causes the Notification sidebar to appear on the right. Whatever API muzzle is using to make the change is not properly changing the switch.

Stride has screen sharing and it would be great to silence notifications during screen sharing.
I am happy to help with coding this, if this is a open collaboration type project.

Specs:

• Macbook Pro early 2015
• Sierra V 10.12.5
• Chrome Version 59.0.3071.115 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Verified DND was off.
2. I started a hangout from a Google Calendar link.
3. Started screenshare.
4. DND turns on.
5. Stopped screenshare.
6. DND still on.

Hello! I've noticed when I use UberConference Muzzle will turn DND on (awesome!) but it won't turn it off when done. With Loom I noticed it does not work at all. Thanks!

I regularly use Skype and it does not seem to support it. Wanted to put in a good word to add this feature request.

For good measure, add some Cisco Spark support.

https://www.ciscospark.com/

I'm using MacOS Sierra, Slack 2.7.1 and Skype 7.5.6 don't know what other info would be good to help you debug it.

Thanks for this great app btw :)

Cisco's updated Webex UI/Client isn't detected. This is the lovely UI/UX change that was sprung on non-enterprise accounts back in 1st week of August.

Any chance you can identify that?

macOS High Sierra v10.13.1

Microsoft Teams has screen sharing and it would be great to silence notifications during screen sharing.
I am happy to help with coding this, if this is a open collaboration type project.

Not all screen sharing is done virtually. It would be awesome if one could enable/disable notifications with Muzzle similar to how it's done with Caffeine or Amphetamine and toggle when clicked.

Sometimes I am connecting a second display to attend (but not run) a Web-Ex meeting. As such, muzzle will not turn on. Note: this is not the same as the System Preference for DND and Screen Mirroring — I am using both screens and thus that won't kick in.

If Muzzle App could turn on whenever an external display is connected that would be great — and offer a white-list of known external monitors (your desk at home, your desk at work) — for all others, turn on DND....

I know Hangouts Meet has only recently been released, but we’re using it pretty heavily at my work and it would be killer to Muzzle it.
