I only mute from phone when I can't be in front of a PC, but have the free time and that's rare. I'm in bed or chair muting while watching something in another tab
Usually if I'm not near a PC or when I had a job, there was no time to be on phone at all
If I go out with friends or have a task I need to do outside, I'm focused on that, I'm not gonna go out with someone and mute lmao
I don't know how people mute while at work, what does that mean

I guess the definition of "work" is very loose last 10 years ^^
You can mute during your break I guess, but that's what 30 minutes? Or if you have some online job
