unmute
Turn sound on
To unmute is to restore sound after it has been silenced, the opposite of mute.
The word belongs to digital communication—unmuting a microphone during a video call, unmuting a television, unmuting a group chat to receive notifications again.
You're on mute—can you unmute?
The noun unmute refers to this action or the button that performs it.
