The old RingCentral Softphone would mute (and pause) podcasts, Spotify, etc. when answering a call. There's an option to choose this here: https://support.ringcentral.com.au/s/article/RingCentral-Phone-Desktop-Reduce-Mute-Other-Sounds-Windows-During-Call But it got dropped out of the new release of the "RingCentral app".

Hi there @Jenn-Community_Moderator, the link above seems to be dead already, and I'm not able to find that idea. Can you update with the proper link so I can vote on this? Thanks!

UPDATE: Never mind. I see now there's a period encoded at the end of that link. Removing that got the URL to work.
