Comfort
Polish for heavy users: more peace with blocking, a message filter and a notification centre, several identities, server info, a fresh design for the wizard, settings, watch party and channel tree, audio per channel, a low-latency mode for making music, updates in the app and an optional relay for direct connections.

Everyday comfort 14
- done: Global shortcuts beyond push-to-talk
- done: Full tray menu
- done: Import settings from the official Mumble client
- done: Whisper and shout to other channels
- done: Public server browser
- done: Do Not Disturb: one switch silences notifications, sounds and pop-ups, and you still hear voices
- done: @all and @channel to mention everyone on the server or in the channel
- done: Switch microphone and headphones with a right-click on mute and deafen, with volume and a level meter
- done: Right-click hang up: leave voice and keep reading, disconnect one server or all of them
- done: Run the setup wizard again without touching your identity
- done: mumble:// links in the chat show as a card for the server or channel, one click connects
- done: Sounds of their own when you are kicked or banned
- done: Audio files in the chat with a player of their own: play, seek and set the volume right in the message
- done: Links to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and other music services become a music card that plays through the service's official player, only after a click
A fresh design 10
- done: A new setup wizard, calm and clear: presets from “Everything on” to “Maximum privacy”, done in about two minutes
- done: Settings reorganised: fewer, clearer sections, consistent cards and a search that finds every setting
- done: Watch party and screen sharing get a cinema-like view of their own with a timeline, volume, playlist and who is watching
- done: Pop a video or a shared screen out into its own window, onto a second monitor or over a game, always on top if you like
- done: Collapse the member column on the right, fully or to a slim rail of avatars, so the chat gets more room
- done: The private messages overview redesigned
- done: A menu behind the channel name with every action and a channel info
- done: The server and channel tree redesigned: a right-click menu on every channel, the user limit next to the name and clear status icons
- done: Quick settings overhauled
- done: The user panel at the bottom left redesigned
Peace and privacy 5
- done: Block people: no more messages, voice or invites from them, recognised by their certificate instead of their name
- done: Private messages from friends only, from everyone or from nobody, per server too. Strangers end up in message requests
- done: A notification centre behind a bell collects mentions, replies, requests and invites from every server, and during Do Not Disturb everything that would otherwise pop up
- done: Watch parties load nothing from YouTube or Twitch while embedded content is off
- done: A hint in the chat when link previews and embeds are off, instead of silently showing only the link
Servers and identities 5
- done: Manage several identities and choose per server which one you connect with
- done: A tidy dialog for adding and editing servers, with identity and “Test connection”
- done: Server info: version, limits, certificate and your permissions at a glance, without any server change
- done: Saved channel passwords show which channel they belong to and can be named
- done: Server info shows whether a Mumbot or a mumpeer relay is announced
Sound and music 4
- done: Right-click the connection info: set bitrate, music quality and low-latency mode right in the conversation
- done: Low-latency mode for making music together: about 40 instead of 90 ms mouth to ear, on standard Mumble servers too
- done: Audio per channel: every channel remembers its own music quality, low-latency mode and bitrate
- done: High-quality noise suppression with the 2024 RNNoise model, as a beta
Direct connections through a relay 4
- done: If no direct connection works, for example behind CGNAT, or you don't want to show your IP address, a mumpeer relay forwards the data
- done: The content stays end-to-end encrypted; the relay only passes bytes along and only lets in users of its own server
- done: Optional: a community can run the relay together with Mumbot. Without a relay everything works as before
- done: Your choice: relay off, only when a direct connection fails, or always, so your IP address stays hidden
Updates and installation 2
- done: Updates right in the app: check, download, verify the signature and restart
- done: On Windows a portable Mumcord.exe next to the installer
