I want my microphone on/off status to be displayed even when it is minimized.
It became inconvenient because the above function was cut in some version upgrade.

I completely understand how frustrating it can be when a feature like the microphone on/off status isn’t easily accessible. It’s a small but critical detail, especially during meetings when you need to quickly check or toggle your mic without reopening the full app.

Zoom might have adjusted this functionality in recent updates, but I’d suggest checking if there’s an option in the settings that allows for enabling some form of overlay or persistent toolbar. If not, it might be worth submitting this as a feature request to Zoom. They’re often receptive to feedback, especially when it involves improving usability.

In the meantime, a workaround could be to use the system tray or taskbar (depending on your OS) to monitor mic activity, though I know it’s not as convenient. Let’s hope Zoom brings back this functionality or offers a better solution in future updates!
