# Set Member Mute

**Introduction**&#x20;

This step allows you to mute or unmute a member in a voice channel within a guild.

**Configuration**

1. **Guild**: The guild in which the mute or unmute action will be applied. This field specifies the server context for the action.
2. **User**: The user who will be muted or unmuted. This identification is crucial to ensure the correct member is targeted by the step.
3. **Mute**: Set this to control the mute status of the member.
   * If set to true, the member will be muted (prevented from speaking in the voice channel).
   * If set to false, the member will be unmuted (allowed to speak in the voice channel). This is a required boolean field.

**Usage**&#x20;

Essential for voice channel moderation, such as silencing disruptive participants, managing speaking order during meetings, or ensuring clear communication in events.

**Permissions**

* Requires the "Mute Members" permission to mute or unmute members in voice channels.
