How to mute or pause other computer sounds (podcasts / music) sounds on the computer when a call comes in to the desktop app.

The old RingCentral Softphone would mute (and pause) podcasts, Spotify, etc. when answering a call. There's an option to choose this here:

But it got dropped out of the new release of the "RingCentral app".

Hi Tom, we are still working to improve our new app. I would highly suggest adding your vote here https://ideas.ringcentral.com/ideas/CUSTCOM-I-4393. Thank you!

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.

Please refer to the new link below.

Hell Jenn. Was this feature ever added back to the desktop app?

I’d also appreciate this feature, but the above link is dead. Any updates on auto-pausing other computer sounds when answering a call?
