unmuting
Turning sound on
Unmuting is restoring sound after it has been silenced.
The term belongs to digital communication—video calls, streaming, audio software: Sorry, I was talking while muted. Unmuting now.
It also applies to social media, where unmuting reverses the suppression of someone's posts from your feed.
